- Note
- "Carpentras (French pronunciation: [kaʁpɑ̃tʁa] or [kaʁpɑ̃tʁas]; Provençal Occitan: Carpentràs in classical norm or Carpentras in Mistralian norm; Latin: Carpentoracte) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d´Azur region in southeastern France.
It stands on the banks of the river Auzon, a tributary of the Sorgue. As capital of the Comtat Venaissin, it was frequently the residence of the Avignon popes; the Papal States retained possession of the Venaissin until the French Revolution. Nowadays, Carpentras is a commercial center for Comtat Venaissin and is famous for the black truffle markets held from winter to early spring." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.05.2021) - Latitude
