Camaret-sur-Aigues is a village set out in the shape of a circle, surrounded by fortified walls, with several gates allowing access to the village (in the Middle Ages the ramparts were further surrounded by a moat of three metres wide which was filled with water when the village was under attack). Close to both Orange and Carpentras, it has retained all the characteristics of a typical small Provençal community, with the old part of the village and its many historical monuments at its centre.
