Maupas, where merchants and pilgrims were often robbed by bands of brigands in Caumont-sur-Durance
In the early Middle Ages, this place was known as "Maupas" (bad step), as merchants and pilgrims were often robbed by bands of brigands. As soon as the monks arrived in the 12th century, they restored order and Maupas became Bonpas. Watching over the crossing of the Durance, it belonged successively to the Pontifical Friars, then to the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, and from 1318, to the Carthusian monks by decision of Pope John XXII, who had the church, cloister and cells built. Part of the building was destroyed during the French Revolution.
