Modène, a nice village near the mont Ventoux
Secteur Ventoux #Histoire, #Patrimoine, #Tourisme,
Between Carpentras and Mont Ventoux, we find the very pretty little village of Modena. Barely a few hundred inhabitants throughout the town. In the 12th century, Modena was the seigneury of the Rainoard family, then the following century the one of the Mormoiron family. It is this family that will give its name to the near village of Mormoiron, beyond the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols, towards the mountains of Vaucluse.
Although it is closer to Carpentras, it is part of the canton of Pernes-les-Fontaines, with 21 other municipalities.
The most pleasant way to visit the village is to enter through an ancient gate surmounted by a campanile structure. A little further on, there is the Notre-Dame-de-Liesse church and the remains of the old castle.
