Modène is a small Provençal village on the southern foothills of Mont Ventoux, about eight kilometres northeast of Carpentras in the Vaucluse.
Nestled on the southern foothills of Mont Ventoux, Modène is a quiet Provençal commune in the Vaucluse, roughly eight kilometres northeast of Carpentras. The village centre is compact and inviting: you enter through an old gateway topped with a campanile and clock, then wander cobbled lanes (ruelles caladées) past the church of Notre-Dame-de-Liesse and the remaining fortifications of the former castle. Near the heart of the village sits the Fontaine des Quatre Saisons; a well-preserved historic noria stands nearby (on private land). From here, the Ventoux landscape and the Comtat Venaissin are close at hand — ideal for guests exploring Provence’s hill villages.
