The town of Carpentras is located in the Provence of the Rhone region in France, nestled at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The cheerful ochre facades, shaded avenues and fountains of this idyllic locale give visitors a real taste of the Provencal way of life.

Many have noticed that Carpentras has a distinct similarity to the Italian countryside. Located just a short distance away from the main motorways of the region, this town is a favorite destination for a road trip through the region via rented car. The quality of life here is second to none, with ancestral lands in the preserved countryside surrounding the town proper and a market that is brimming with local goods to satisfy any appetite.

Inspired by Italian models, the architecture of Carpentras dates back to the 13th century. The synagogue here is the oldest one in France and is still in use today. In addition, the Hotel Dieu hospital and its 18th century pharmacy are preserved in their original state
