Guided tours of the Porte d'Orange, a vestige offering a unique view of the Comtadine plain.

In the 16th century, with the Hundred Years' War looming, the Pope ordered the town to raise its ramparts. These included thirty-two towers and four fortified gates, the most imposing of which was the Porte d'Orange. It was spared during the demolitions of the 19th century. Deprived of its ravelin (half-moon), it is open in tiers-point in a 26 m-high tower. Staircases glued to the walls served the upper floors and the wooden-floor platform. Guided tours offer a unique view of the Comtadine plain.

La Porte d'Orange 84200 Carpentras
La Porte d'Orange qui culmine à 26m, est un magnifique vestige de la ville de Carpentras. Ses dimensions laissent imaginer ce que devaient être les remparts. C'est également maintenant un passage relativement emprunté par les voitures ainsi que des piétons. A voir !

En visitant Carpentras j'avais déjà pu admirer la magnifique Porte d' Orange ,dernier vestige des remparts de la ville mais c'est lors des Journées du Patrimoine que j ai pu accédé en haut de cette tour datant du 14 ème siècle et contemplé les dentelles de Montmirail et le Mont Ventoux en toile de fond...quel panorama !!
