CARPENTRAS

 

Carpentras, in France, an exceptional and varied land

 
Carpentras - France
Located in the Provence of the Rhone at the foot of the Mont Ventoux, in France, sheltered from the Mistral wind, Carpentras, papal land from 1229 to 1791, offers to the visitor's gaze its spruce ochre façades, cool lanes and fountains... it's a privileged vacation spot for those who want to savour the Provençal way of life !

A landscape with an air of the Italian countryside, dotted with beautiful villages warming up in the southern sun. The privileged location of Carpentras, in France, not far from the main motorways, makes it an ideal vacation spot for its quality of life, its ancestral lands and know-how, its exceptional environment in the heart of a preserved countryside and a rich heritage left by the presence of the popes during five centuries.

"A Carpentras, cité tranquille
le mistral joue et farandole
Ses airs de danses comtadines
sous les platanes centenaires
Qui regardent le Mont Ventoux..."
