Courthézon is located between Carpentras and l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue; built in a circular shape, and surrounded by a boulevard, Courthézon lies in the beautiful fertile Ouvèze plain, an area where vines and smallholdings stretch out side by side. Renowned as the 'village of furniture', Courthézon's many furniture manufacturers and craftsmen will be delighted to share their passion and know-how with you. It is also one of the very rare villages to boast four castles, testimony to the prestige of its past. As you meander through Courthézon's narrow streets you will admire a number of superb ancient stone residences.
