Entraigues-Sur-La-Sorgue: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

In the town centre of Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue stands the Tour des Templiers, a 20-metre-high square tower renovated in 2006 and considered to be a remnant of the Château Vieux. It was probably built in the 11th or 12th century and remodelled several times in the 13th and 14th centuries. The tower can be visited and offers panoramic views of Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Monts de Vaucluse. It can also be visited during the Journées du Patrimoine.

The Église Saint-Pierre-es-Liens was rebuilt in 1840 on the site of the original Notre-Dame des 7 Douleurs church. The interior of the late-19th-century Église Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens includes statues, a walnut pulpit and paintings, some of which come from the Avignon seminary. After eight years of construction work, it was completely renovated in 2006.

The Centre Horloger de Provence brings together repair workshops, a training centre, a manufacturing facility and a sales area. It also bears the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant designation.
