France's oldest synagogue, built in 1367 with a modest facade and listed as a French Favourite Monument in 2022
It is the oldest active synagogue in France, listed as a Monument Historique in 1924. There has always been a Jewish community in Carpentras, dating back to Roman times. Driven out of France in the 13th century, the Jews found refuge on papal soil, in the Comtat Venaissin. Behind its modest 1909 façade, the synagogue, built in 1367, hides a veritable treasure trove. On the first floor and in the basement are the mikveh - a place for ritual immersion - as well as the bakery and ovens. The synagogue was ranked 7th out of 14 in the "Monument préféré des Français 2022" competition.

Accueil chaleureux par un guide qui nous a expliqué pendant plus d'une heure l'histoire de cette synagogue ( la plus vieille de France en activité ) ,
les traditions juives et les juifs de Carpentras.
A voir absolument pour aussi le mikvé (bain rituel) très bien conservé
Ca m'a beaucoup intéressé.
Si ce culte vous intéresse, vous pouvez aller à Pernes les Fontaines où on trouve un mikvé privé datant de l'époque des Papes en Avignon.
