At the origin of the name of Vaucluse

The village of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse had 579 inhabitants in 2019. Baptized Vaucluse, from the Latin Vallis Clausa (closed valley) at the end of the 10th century, it gave its name to the eponymous department and was known as Vaucluse-la-Fontaine until 1946. Emblematic of the Luberon, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse shelters a geological curiosity with the spring of the Sorgue, which formes the most important resurgence in Europe. The site offers a natural spectacle that has inspired many poets and writers from Petrarch to René Char via Boccace, François-René de Chateaubriand or Frédéric Mistral.
