Culture and history
At Château Talaud, the wines of Domaine Château Talaud with the AOC Ventoux designation can be tasted on site. Château Talaud was the former residence of Marquis Grille d'Estoublon and was built in the 18th century in the heart of the Comtat Venaissin. Château de Loriol also dates from the 18th century.
The church to which the Campanile de Loriol du Comtat belongs was built around the 10th or 11th century. It has two bell towers; one of them serves as a square campanile, or square belfry.
Landscape
The area of Loriol-du-Comtat includes hills and former marshlands, a large part of which was drained by monks from Mazan. Ancient mulberry trees are regarded as witnesses to the history of the municipality and its silkworm culture.
