CArpentras

RETURN TO MAIN PAGE
Carpentras is famous for the Truffle market that takes place every Friday morning during the winter months.

It was a commercial site used by Greek merchants in ancient times, and known to Romans at first as Carpentoracte Meminorum, then renamed Forum Neronis ("Forum of Nero")

At the beginning of the Avignon Papacy   Pope Clement V took up residence in 1309, along with the Roman Curia, in Carpentras . The Avignon Papacy was the period from 1309 to 1377, during which seven successive popes resided in Avignon, in France, rather than in Rome.This situation arose from the conflict between the Papacy and the French crown. (Wikipedia).
