In the heart of the old town, the 18th-century synagogue is a masterpiece of Comtadin Baroque art. The synagogue, which became a museum in 1963, has 2 levels: the men's prayer room upstairs, and the women's prayer room downstairs, which served as a bakery, as evidenced by the kneading table and unleavened bread oven. The museum's collections of furniture, religious objects and manuscripts retrace the life of the "Pope's Jews" in the Comtat Venaissin from 1326 onwards.

We had a very nice tour of the shul. Sadly, it is long out of use. But kudos to the locals who have preserved it. It has many unusual features which the guide points out. Her English was good. We toured with another English speaking couple. Price was fair.
I communicated with them ahead of time by email.

Le musée juif comtadin se situe dans la rue hébraïque et était autrefois une synagogue. La visite est faite avec une guide de grande qualité, après la visite, il reste la visite de la boulangerie qui elle aussi est transformée en musée

Une visite guidée par une guide très impliquée. Passionnant d' apprendre l histoire des juifs de sa région et en Europe.
A faire! Vaut le détour!
