Modène

Pop. : 280

Department : Vaucluse

Modène is situated at the foot of the Mont Ventoux,
14 km north-east of Carpentras via the D938 then the D55.
Modène is a small market town concentrated around its ramparts. From the secondary road that skirts the village, you will be able to catch a glimpse of an immense gate built against the village church.
This gate is the entrance to the old centre of Modène. Inside, there are only a few houses.
Modène is not really a tourist site and there hardly any shops there. So you will be able to simply take advantage of the peace and quiet of the countryside.
