Le pont d’Avignon est l’un des monuments les plus connus au monde grâce à sa chanson chantée par les enfants de tous les pays.Mais si la notoriété de ce pont est fameuse, son histoire est peu connue. Quatre arches seulement demeurent sur les 22 de son origine. Le Pont d’Avignon accueille aujourd’hui 400.000 visiteurs par an. Il est classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
As the first AOC wine in France in 1936, the 3,150 hectares of the appellation extend over 5 communes: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bédarrides, Courthézon, Orange, and Sorgues. With 300 harvest declarants, the appellation produces an average of 90,000 hectoliters per vintage, or about 12 million bottles, distributed to 93% for red wines and 7% for white wines. Benefiting from a unique natural heritage, the AOC relies on 13 grape varieties, 5 distinct terroirs, and an exceptional climate, marked by sun and mistral, to produce exceptional wines distributed mainly for export (66% of volumes in 2021). Historically and continuously committed to sustainable development issues, 35% of the AOC’s surfaces are managed in organic or biodynamic agriculture.
