Mazan
Mazan is a typical provençal market town, among its winding streets you'll come across the auzon river which slowly crosses the town and guides you along its historic routes.
Nearby:  The infamous Marquis de Sade's birthplace, the chateau de Mazan (17th century) is now a luxurious hotel-restaurant, the original castle (13th century) is mainly destroyed but one of its towers can still be seen in town. |
Though humans inhabited the area since the neolithic its during the Gallo Roman era that the village developed into an important agricultural center. It is in Mazan that were found France's most ancient Gaul made anphoras (1st century BC). The village has had a tumultuous history riddled with barbarian invasions, plagues, revolutions and finally rural exodus. But it is now all the richer for it with some interesting sites such as the 6th century necropolis or its old rampart gates, some dating from the 15th century. The town has some very nice fountains and a colleciton of chapels and churches dotted around its winding streets that you will surely enjoy discovering along with its rich history. 
Mazan sits at the bottom of the Mont Ventoux in an area known as the Comtat Venaissin which was from 1274 until 1793, like Avignon, property of the popes. |
