Pertuis is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

Located south of the Luberon, this town is also near Aix-en-Provence, a famous town. Pertuis has existed since at least 981, while a castle was first built in the 12th century. It has registered significant population growth in the last 50 years, with a threefold increase during this period.

It is bordered on the south by the Durance, which after having served as a boundary between the County of Provence and Forcalquier County, is now a boundary between the departments of Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône.

Due to its geographical position, Pertuis has always been, over the centuries a strategic position between mountain and sea town has the distinction of being part of a conurbation inter-departmental. It is the capital of the Pays d'Aygues and now it becomes a very important business hub for south-east of the department.

Location


At the heart of Provence, along the valley of the Durance and the gates of Luberon, Pertuis is located in Aygues countries, it is the capital. It is situated about twenty miles north of Aix-en-Provence and came from the 1 in the Community of the Pays d'Aix, creating a community of inter-departmental communication. Due to its geographical position, Pertuis or "pertus" in Latin meaning "hole" within the meaning of "transition" has always been a crossroads of communication between the sea and mountains. The town is one of the seventy-seven members of the Luberon Regional Park.

Geology and Relief
At the end of the south-east, on the banks of the Durance, the soil is composed of urgonian limestone and marl  Neocomian. In addition, between Pertuis Road and Mirabeau and the Durance is a layer of red clay marl alternating with pudding. To the west, the land covers the marine sandstone on which the city is built. Between the main road 973, the Eze and Pertuis, the soil is composed of marine sandstone very conducive to the culture, with sandy clay on the landscape (Eocene - Oligocene) east of borough. Beyond the Eze, a width of 3 km, the soil is composed of diluvions terraces. Finally to the north, one encounters the flabby freshwater, sand and marl Miocene with the north-west, another highlight of conglomerates composed of Pliocene and Miocene. The plain is a gift of the Durance alluvial deposits formed exclusively.

The territory of the municipality has an area of ​​6623 ha, which 1150 ha are irrigable. It consists of a plain about 2000 ha very fertile, surrounded by Durance over a length of 11 km and protected from flooding by nine major dikes. Its maximum width is 3 km.

The remaining land includes from west to east hill Chanaud (333 m altitude) and the narrow valley of the Eze until Viader, between the hills of St. Joseph and St. John on the right bank and Saint-Roch, Saint Sepulchre and Pivoulier left bank. Then there is the least fertile valley of the Ébrette Vallat and Galance. Finally there are the hills of Loubière and Defense.

Resembling a plateau near the Durance, the slope is more pronounced at the edge of town. Pertuis is situated on the foothills of the Luberon Massif, as evidenced by the hills north-west and those dying from the village since Bastidonne to the east. When coming from the south by Aix-en-Provence shortly after Venelles, Pertuis can see below, nestled in the heart of the valley Aygues, and just behind, behind the scenes, steep slopes and still bright (south side) of Luberon Massif, dominated by the Mourre Negro rising to 1125 m.

Hydrography
The Eze through the town in the northeast / southwest direction and then converge with the Durance which passes the southern edge of the town, in the town  Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade. This stream of modest appearance was the subject of much controversy in the town and was one of the election issues between the contenders for mayor. In fact, during periods of fall or the snow melts, it turned into a veritable torrent creating devastating floods in the city. Since then, the river bed was "channeled".

There are many irrigation canals.

Durance borders the town to the south and serves as a natural boundary between the Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhone. It is a river called"capricious" andonce feared for its flood s (it was called the 3e scourge of Provence Provence ) as well as for its low water s, the river Durance is both Alpine and Mediterranean the very special morphology.

The town has experienced from 1986 to 1994 eight floods and mudslides, and a big storm that natural disasters have been recognized with publication of a decree of recognition of natural disaster published in the Gazette.

Climate
Pertuis enjoys a Mediterranean climate of interior. Continental influences are felt in winter (7 C mean temperature in January). The temperature variability is important in the winter and shoulder seasons, when midlatitude across France, but it is low in summer, as an anticyclone parking and guarantees a dry and stable. Summers are hot (average temperature of 24 C), with some thunderstorms, sometimes very violent. Maximum temperatures often exceed 35 C in the summer, even with spikes beyond 40 C during heat waves, as in July 1983. < Center>

Durance Bridge
The Vaucluse is separated from Bouches-du-Rhône by the Durance, we need a bridge to replace theboatto cross the Durance River. This boat, which over time turned into tray with a toll that was shared by the Lords of Pertuis and Meyrargues.



The 14, the contract for the construction of a bridge in Pertuis was awarded to Jules Seguin et Cie, which proposes to build a bridgewire, the subject of a toll concession for 48 years given by the state. The bridge was inaugurated in October 1835. It appears construction problems very quickly to the abutments, battery, deck, and 1842 the dealer is ordered to restore it. Some repairs were made, but the 2, a flood millénale outweighs the right bay. This same flood carries five other bridges over the river: Bridges Mees by  Mirabeau by Manosque of Cadenet by Rognonas. In July 1844 he is again open to traffic.

According to the specifications of 1833 and the law of 30 at the redemption concession bridges toll, the departments of Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhone take possession of the suspension bridge on 23. Repairs and modifications of structure are immediately contemplated by the extension and adding a new span of 100 m of reach at the same time as the complete renovation of the suspension system but this does has not been realized. It was not until 1901 that work is carried out. The new project includes restoration of the suspension and the construction of a winch to the battery to improve the drainage. This work cost €145000 to the two departments. It Arnodin, engineer-constructor at Chateauneuf-sur-Loire, which has been requested for this project.

During WWII, the bridge was bombed Durance 15 August 1944 at 15:15 and the bombing was decided by the  15e Army Air Force order No. 598. The planes used were Lockheed P-38 Lightning armed with bomb 1000 books. Only the road was destroyed. Finally explosive charges laid by the Strength destroyed the.

A wooden walkway allowed, only to pedestrians crossing the bridge to get in the Bouches-du-Rhone. It was not until 1952 for a new bridge is built.

Problems and Projects
Like many cities that have experienced rapid growth, Pertuis accused of serious traffic problems in downtown and the main entrances of the town.

Parking, high-capacity built below the city center and the establishment of a zone limited to 30 km/h should encourage users not to circulate in the center. Ultimately, it comes to banning this area to traffic.

A consultancy has identified between 20,000 and 25,000 vehicles per day on the southern entrance (coming from Aix and Marseilles), between {{formatnum: 15000} and 20,000 vehicle entrances east and west and more than 5,000 on the other axes from nearby villages.

The all new bypass opened on 25 July 2007 and calledJean Garcinon 11 April 2009 around the city from the south-west 3 km has substantially improved the situation in the city center.

Wildlife
Since the Durance, we see high cliffs that form a very hostile environment where only the hardiest species may experience:

Insects ( grasshopper praying mantis cicada), the Arthropod s, as the great  centipede] ] and the general [[Scorpion | Scorpion yellow, both very venomous reptiles such as asp, venomous but leaky at the slightest noise, the Snake ladder, the  Montpellier snake, the SEPS, the lizard, the largest lizard of Europe 90 cm long ..

Flora
It is characterized by a severe drought, which flora and fauna have adapted. There are practically no sources. The element is the dominant plant oak, which once stood up to 15 m high. There remains more than 3 to coppice 4 m. The cuts have been excessive in places disappear, either in favor of Aleppo Pine, or to be replaced by scrub with fragrant plants such as thyme, the Rosemary, the germander and yarrow. We also find cade juniper in Provence, whose oil with healing properties and skin is used in pharmacy as well as soaps (Cadum). The box, which can live for several centuries, the buckthorn, the  madder, the Kermes oak the cist cottony, the aphyllanthe Montpellier are also typical of the region.

Land Distribution
The distribution of land in the municipality is as follows (given for a total of):

Natural areas are mainly formed by the Mediterranean forests covering the Petit Luberon. The agricultural areas are formed orchard s of  fruit ( olive almond s, etc.), fields of  lavender and vine s ( AOC Côtes du Luberon).

Neighborhoods
To facilitate the recovery of the lifting height, the city council decided in 1362 to divide the city into quarters:

The area bounded by St. Nicolas Street and Grand Street Durance, extends around the Market Square. It owes its name to the parish church located in the center.

The area bounded by Vinory Durance Saint-Jacques and includes the old hospital Saint-Jacques. The origin of its name is unknown.

The district originally called Rougerie lord Boniface district (first estimator in 1318) by cons nobody knows Mr. Royer, who left the neighborhood its name. The neighborhood gathered around the site of the Angel is bounded by the Angel, St. Anthony and St. Jacques.

The area owes its Beaujeu my Beljoco to Jacobus de (Jacques de Beaujeu) estimator in 1317, described as''primus internobilis. It is bounded by the Angel, Large, and Beaujeu Vinory.

The district Lambert Monet Belioc old neighborhood is bounded by Notre Dame, Vinory, Beaujeu and the Place Mirabeau.

The Saint-Pierre, originally called the Four Monks district, owes its name to the first parish church, built in the eleventh century by the monks of Montmajour.

Housing
Sluices were 8,393 housing 2007 (7,374 in 1999 ). The old buildings, but also new, are more prevalent than the average French in 2007, 22.5% of primary residences dating back to 1990 and cons 16.5 % in France and 33.0% were built between 1975 and 1989.

The principal residences are 7,714 homes, or 91.9% of the park, located at 64.2% in detached houses (68.7% in 1999) and 33.6% in flats (56, 1% and 42.4% in France). The owners of their homes is 55.4% of the inhabitants, against 41.7% who were tenants (respectively 57.4% and 39.8% in France).

One big problem is the town's 400 homes built without permits and are located in flood zone and particularly on the gypsy families.

House height
This type of house is quite widespread in the city center. Fernand Benoit says that along a Mediterranean tradition. The house is divided up into a barn-delivery on the ground floor, housing on one or two storeys, an attic in the attic. She was the type of house reserved for peasants villagers who had little to accommodate livestock, is impossible in so small a space to keep horses and a carriage. The construction of these houses date mostly from the XVI century, a period when the wars of religion imposed to hide behind the fortifications of the village. The wars ended, there was a movement out to establish the outskirts of the town "houses to the ground," most likely to receive additional buildings.

Indeed, this type of housing, bringing people and animals in a village, could only be static, any extension unless it is prohibited in height. Their architecture is so characteristic a facade to close one or two windows, and an elevation can not exceed four to five floors, including attic with its outer pulley to haul hay. Currently, the only possible transformations - these houses have lost their agricultural status - are to install a garage at ground floor and create new rooms in the attic. For those who have been tastefully restored, we can always access the floor of a residential stair leading to the facade.

The presence of terraces or balconies was a constant. The terrace was used as a priority, the drying of fruit s and vegetable s suspended from a wire. It was calledtrihard when she hosted avine, which covered a pergola rustic. When it formed loggia, the columns supporting a roof covered with tiles, she was appointed galarordrunken.

Land House
Compartmentalized in the sense of length, this house type is a more advanced stage of evolution as the "house height". It is characteristic of the scattered settlements which are found in the lower Rhone valley in that of the Durance and more occasionally in the valleys like the annexes  Calavon. This is the traditional home countries 'rich culture'.

This type of house is divided into two distinct parts in the longitudinal direction. The ground floor is occupied by a common room which is incorporated in the cuisine. Very often lies behind a cellar containing the subject of wine and a bedroom. A narrow corridor, which provides access to the floor, separating the set of the second part reserved for animals. It consists, in most cases, a discount that can be used to team and a barn. The floor is reserved for bedrooms and attic hay by a waterspout which corresponds with the stable and the stable.

The construction of such a set is spread over time, there was no pre-set architectural design. Each owner was acting according to his needs and in order of priority. This allows today to see the heterogeneity of each set where the roofs of buildings generally overlap each gradient.

In this set, added appendices. A key was the turn of the loft, but the house was prolonged as a pigsty a rabbit st, a barn and a sheep.

The pigeon became, after the Revolution, the iconic part of this habitat type since its construction meant the end of the manorial rights, the latter being previously reserved for only noble houses. It was either directly contiguous to the house but also independent of it. Still of considerable size, since it was supposed to ennoble the habitat, it was on two floors, the latter being only reserved for pigeon s. To protect them from a plague of rodents, access was still protected by a coating of glazed tiles which prevented them from accessing the interior.

Court House
This type of housing consists of buildings and outbuildings arranged around a central courtyard. This set is typical of the great grain fields and often takes the appearance of a castle with walls flanked by watchtower s and corner towers. It is suitable for farm life, where the climate does not have a barn to store the sheaves of wheat by threshing, the latter occurring immediately cut the sheaves on the threshing floor of beaten earth. In this cultural mode, the grains came into bags in a shed while reapers raise the stacks of straw, his only protection against the rain a mixture of dust] ] and clay. Only returned by [[fodder.

The agrarian structure, rare in Provence, is only confined to the plains of Arles, in the Luberon in the valley of the Durance (as in Pertuis, the Château Val Joanis] ]), with a concentration on the side of [[Manosque in the country of Aix and the region of  Moors.

Projects
amenities Since 1985, an area of ​​41 ha Jas de Beaumont north of Pertuis 3NA area is reserved, that is to say, converted within an overall plan and not Parcel. Public Meeting 27 and thematic workshops 8 December 2006, which we have participated, have located the proposed development in the neighborhood ZAC Jas de Beaumont at a very high level (1,200 dwellings (3,500 to 5,000 people), a group scloraire, a sports complex, shops .. .).

A Development Area deferred (ZAD) was established by prefectural SI No. 05/30/2007-0050-pref on 30 May 2007. ZAD A is an area subject administrative procedure to allow the creation of land reserves in anticipation of urban expansion. At the City Council 25 June 2007 City Pertuis has decided to delegate its right of first refusal to the A public land (ETH) PACA in the perimeter of the ZAD of Jas Beaumont. This right of first refusal may be exercised for a period of fourteen years after the publication of the act that created the ZAD.

At the council of 22 September 2010, it was decided by unanimous vote, theAdhésion the framework agreement PACA ETH / ABC anticipation and momentum landed. This partnership is ultimately aimed at the creation of housing, management of urban change in the vicinity of public transport lines, the conversion of brownfields, the control of peripheral urban extensions, the structure of cuts in agriculture and establishment of multimodal transport hubs.

Toponymy
The oldest form isPertusum, attested in 981. In Provence, the town is calledPertusby classical norm orPertusby Mistralian norm. These names refer to the Low Latin pertusiumwhich means an opening, a passage.

Increasingly over the years, the city is calledPertuis-en-Provence. Much on the websites of the city (married, tourist office) on the panels into the city. For cons, the formalization of the change of name has not yet occurred.

Prehistory and Antiquity
Remnants of the Neolithic were found at stations and bus shelters Gargarella. Three mound located in the area of ​​Agnels, the district Mouriéras and Three-quarters were searched. They delivered bracelets and pottery dating from the Iron Age and kylix of Greek origin. The contacts between the indigenous population living between the VII and VI century BC, on the right bank of the Durance and Ancient Greece also been attested by the discovery at a place called The Loubière at the foot of the hill of the Three Brothers in the necropolis of Agnels, a oinochoe bronze locally manufactured. She is currently in the collections of Borély museum for Marseille. This discovery was made in 1909 by Charles Cotte and was dated -740. These objects of Greek influence, mixed with other imports Etruscan s, testify to the role of local leaders in the economy of Lower Provence, a century and a half before the foundation of Massalia by Phocis ns.

Significant traces of Roman settlement have been found on the territory of the commune, but none in the basement of the city, thereby finding a primitive dispersed habitat. Flat tiles were found at the farm Messeri cremation graves at Paradou, and two cemeteries in the district of Deventer. Avilla rustica was searched at Sainte-Thérèse. The largest number of remains were unearthed at Val Joanis. In addition to numerous red ceramics from The Graufesenque, it was found cippus funeral, on which is engraved the name of people of Fronton. This family, which was installed at Apta Julia, counted among its members Marcus Fronto Corneluis, the famous grammarian, who was the friend of Emperors Hadrian  and Marcus Aurelius. This pillar, which has been halved, is kept at the Chateau Val Joanis.

The origin of Pertuis is set by some historians to the year 94 BC when the Romans established trade relations with the inhabitants there and opened a counter p 8. .

After the fall of the Roman Empire, and until the establishment of feudalism, passed five centuries marked by the invasions of Burgundians of Visigoths and Ostrogoths of France, the Lombards and the raids of the Saracens.

Middle Age
The territory was placed under pertusien feudal domination by a deed of gift drawn up by Charles Martel to Nébulong, son of his brother Childebrand in 739. His descendant, William I Nébulong in 950, donated it to the Abbey Montmajour. This donation was confirmed in 966 by Count Boson notified that aHousePertusum. A priory of Montmajour Abbey is established, this donation is confirmed again in 981 by his son William the Liberator.

A ferry to cross the Durance is attested from the eleventh century, and was one of the busiest : it outshines even neighboring bins of  Puy and Meyrargues to fifteenth century.

In 1011, the three of William son first Nébulong, aggrieved, burned and pillaged the city, but 1019, on papal injunction, they confirmed the donation to the monks Montmajour in exchange for the lifetime usufruct of half of the castrumPertuis. The portus'and'Pertuis naves are cited in 1050 and 1119 in the cartulary of the abbey of St. Victor. This passage, between high and low Provence, and toll make such income that the abbots of Montmajour did renew their privileges for each new papal election. This was the case of Calixtus II in 1123, and Innocent III in 1203.

But in 1208, William Sabran, having put the hand on the County Forcalquier, took the opportunity to relate to its areas Pertuis. This earned him, in 1212, a double papal sanction. Innocent III, by means of Gui de Fos, Archbishop of Aix and Bertrand Durfort,  Bishop of Cavaillon threw the ban on his county and excommunicated.

William of Pertuis Sabran had therefore surrender, but in 1240, taking advantage of tensions between the emperor Frederick II and Raymond Berenger IV of Provence and Raymond VII of Toulouse, he expelled the monks, seized the ferry and the town. An arbitration was again made on 5. She decided that Pertuis now and pay undivided was between William and his successors Abbey Montmajour on condition of homage in the hands of the abbot. Theoldport is mentioned on 21 in the charter granted to postage Pertuisiens by William "Venien has Massalia and transient per Civitate aquensis Caminum of forName per Ecclesiam Sancte Candide ubi pedagium tenebatur"< ref name = "JC264" group = "d"> p 264. .

In 1246, death of William de Sabran, County Forcalquier no longer existed. His son William of Pertuis and his little son Bertrand des Baux de Pertuis retained the Lordship of Pertuis. The abbot, who was head of the order obtained from Pope Montmajour Alexander IV, by a bull dated 17 March 1258 that churches St. Peter and St. Nicolas were placed under its jurisdiction and that the land cultivated by the monks were not subject to tithe. In 1296, Count of Provence Charles II of Anjou, wishing to reconstruct the Count field in its entirety, bought the lordship of Pertuis to Bertrand. This leads to an economic revival and Pertuis, with its weekly market, the establishment of exchange, is renowned for the quality of its trade ; the 1289, it is donation to the nuns of St. Mary of Nazareth House of almsgiving, which, in Pertuis, was to distribute relief to poor.

In 1283 a Charter "allows Jews of Saint-Maximin, Lambesc, Pertuis, Istres, Lancon and Aix-en-Provence to have a synagogue and a cemetery giving annually to the Archbishop of aix two pounds of pepper." . While in 1306, the Jews were expelled from France, the Comte de Provence Charles II of Naples guarantees their rights in their states.

But in 1310, the manor was again separated from the county of Provence and alienated Bertrand de Got who kept it until his death in 1325. Robert Wise decided in 1333, it was out of question that a count-king paid tribute to the abbots Montmajour.

In 1343, the Queen Jeanne, her granddaughter, became Countess of Provence. To thank Clement VI to have washed all suspicion of instigating the murder of her first husband, she bestowed Pertuis, in 1355, the nephew of the pope, William III Roger de Beaufort Vicomte de Turenne. He refused to turn, to return any homage to Abbe Montmajour and found that it was the latter who was to return it. A compromise had to be found; Cardinal Anglic of Grimoard decided in 1367, the viscount and the abbot would now be relieved of all stripes. Queen Jeanne approved this sentence on 31.



This is the beginning of the dark period in Provence. Armed gangs devastate the region, Pertuis is occupied from 1357 to 1362. From 1384, Marie de Blois tries to reconstruct the field Count, but she faces in Pertuis  VIII Raymond de Turenne and his mother, Eleanor de Comminges, Dame Meyrargues for 10 years which will loot, plunder and extort money from the Venaissin County. But the city besieged by the troops of Marshal Boucicault, his son, sent by the King of France, visited June 26 1397 after eighteen days of bombing with gear and bombards. "Raymond de Turenne is among those who customarily wear them right at the tip of their swords and documents in their arms" has justly wrote the novelist Provencal Marie Mauron.

Elzéar Sabran, lord of Ansouis, who had losses during the revolt of Raymond de Turenne, sold the 1 December 1425 whole mountain of Luberon, top to the territory of Cabrières-d'Aigues and La Motte-d'Aigues for the sum of three hundred gold florins.

Renaissance
To bring reinforcements to Naples, the  King René was set up two galleys. On this occasion, the Pertuisiens shed 400 florins in exchange for the exemption, on the whole territory of Provence and County of Forcalquier, tolls and Leiden. This privilege was granted by Letters Patent issued by Queen Isabel de Lorraine on 21.

King Rene confirmed the 13 assignments of Cabrières-d'Aigues, La Motte-d'Aigues and Villelaure. Remarried with Jeanne de Laval, and as it loved to Pertuis (which made him a gift of 80 guilders for his wedding), he gave full ownership in the city 26. Lady of Pertuis, in 1474, Jeanne de Laval authorized to hold a market every Friday.

Pertuis became the French 11, at the Union of the Kingdom of Provence in France, after the death of King Rene. The 2 Mungy Bertrand and Jean Roux took the oath of fidelity, as members of the city, Charles VIII, king of France, Comte de Provence and Forcalquier. Twelve years later, in 1493, Pertuis received from Charles VIII to the inalienable privilege of the Crown and the fleur de lis on his shield, a rare privilege for a city. In 1498, the Carmelites negotiate their facility in Pertuis. Daisy Prayer Cadenet, in 1501 made to install a community of Carmelite. The plague raged in Provence in 1520, there were only a few victims in countries of Aigues. What prompted the Parliament of Aix to retire to Pertuis in 1546 to escape the wars of religion and a new plague. Yet the city was encircled in May 1562, for eighteen days, by Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy, Count of Tende and the troops of Paulon of Mauvanes, captain Protestant. She successfully resisted the head and was again besieged unsuccessfully in 1568. She was less fortunate in 1589, returned when theevilcontagious, name that was given then the plague, which caused NaN.

During the wars of the Catholic League, the city became the seat of government of Jean Louis de La Valette Nogaret, Duke of Epernon and lieutenant-general of the King of France [ [Henry III of France | Henri III]]. There convened in September 1588, an assembly of states. In December of that year and in his absence, the Leaguer s made an attempt to invest the city that was a failure.

In 1590, the Duke of Epernon summoned the Parliament of Aix in Pertuis. Mostly leaguers, parliamentarians did not moved and they called a meeting of the Commons Marseille. Royalist judges, minority, however, constitute a challenge that parliament of Aix, in Pertuis. The 3, the community of Pertuis asked the Governor of Provence States permission to destroy the castle, building considered too warlike, thinking to be at peace without military cantonment site.
