It's just a short walk up to the castle. Even though the path is steep and partly rocky, it's well worth it! From the ruins, you have fantastic views down to the town, the river, and the entire surrounding area. Be careful when climbing on the walls; it's extremely steep down!

If you go up, it's because you're going towards St Hubert. The road is pleasant and we're almost there...

The climb and descent to and from the castle is seriously tough but once at the top the view is breathtaking.

Actually, I always just fly past it and on the descent from Sault, the chateau is a sign that the road is a bit rougher here and you should stay in the middle if traffic allows it. Next time I go up, I might stop ,-)

Since 1274, Carpentras belonged to the papal domain of the Comtat Venaissin. Between 1309 and 1314, Pope Clement V made Carpentras – alongside Avignon – his residence. During the term of office of Pope Innocent VI (1352–1362), the city was surrounded by a city wall with 32 towers and four gates to protect it from the plundering mercenary troops of the Grandes Compagnies. The 27 m high Porte d’Orange (around 1360) with its battlements is the only remaining city gate and is open on the city side as a three-wall gate tower (half-shell tower). It has two plank floors, one above the brick passageway (barrel vault) and the defense platform behind the battlements. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpentras

The ruins of the 13th century castle perch high above the village. From the ruins you will have an exceptional panoramic view of the town, the spring and the surrounding area. The climb towards the ruins start in the village and the first part is easy accessible by foot. The last past however is very steep, rocky and sometimes even tricky with lots of loose stones and even a wiggly ladder. Not the easiest climb especially for kids (< 8yrs) and elderly people.

This village has a beautiful view of the Luberon, is very touristy and very busy. It is market on Tuesday. Also many art galleries and an open museum about the "bories", a kind of stone hut.
