Situated between the Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail, 12 km north of Carpentras via the D938 and then the D21. Located high in the foothills of the Ventoux in Provence, the fortified village of Caromb has preserved some very interesting monuments within its ramparts. Caromb is endowed with one of the largest Romanesque churches in the Vaucluse: the church of Saint Maurice, erected in the 14th century and listed as a historical monument in 1849. It houses numerous masterpieces, notably the triptych by Grabuset, the tomb of Etienne de Vaesc (died 1501) and a baroque style Italian organ dating from 1701, which has been restored and is in working order.
