The adventure begins!! at the meeting point!!
The magnificent Square Agricole Perdiguier and the Temple Saint-Martial, a former Benedictine monastery, are the ideal starting point for the guided tour.
This remarkable site takes us back to the origins of the town's independence, when it became part of the Venaissin County in the 14th century.

We then arrive in the Rue des Teinturiers, a lively place during the summer season, the Sorgue canal that surrounds the bell tower and the apse is ideal for taking photos.

We'll then take a stroll down the rue de la Bonneterie, home to numerous craft shops and art galleries.

A few steps from the Halles market, the Saint-Didier square and its impressive Collegiate, magnificent and imposing example of southern Gothic architecture, the visit of the interior is just as surprising.
