The town centre of Carpentras, around the Saint-Siffrein cathedral. Google Maps.
The town centre corresponds to the old core of Carpentras, held within the footprint of the fourteenth-century walls ordered by the popes, of which the porte d'Orange survives, the only one of the four fortified gates still standing. It is organised around the Saint-Siffrein cathedral, built between 1404 and 1519, and the Roman triumphal arch of the Augustan period standing against its east end.
The district is home to the synagogue of 1367, the oldest still in use in France, the eighteenth-century Hôtel-Dieu and its Inguimbertine library, as well as the shopping streets and the Provençal market on Friday mornings. Its housing stock is almost entirely old and often in poor condition, which led to the area being classified as a priority district in the town contract.
On the market, the town centre sits at around 1 525 €/m² for an apartment, below the town average. With about 43 sales a year, it is the most active district in Carpentras: its average is the most reliable and serves as the benchmark for the local market. The area has fallen by around 10 % over five years, with the energy performance of the older stock weighing more and more on prices.
