Mérindol

Mérindol (Merindòu) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

The village, located south of the Luberon massif, has some prominence in the plain of the Durance river which demarcates the Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône departments. This plain has allowed the municipality to develop an agriculture which remains relatively important for its economy. Its history, like that of several other villages in the Luberon, was marked by the French Wars of Religion.
