– Bertrand gaume, prefect of Vaucluse

Appointed prefect of Vaucluse in May 2018, Bertrand Gaume is from Vichy. At the microphone of Paulin Reynard and Simon Calamel, he gives some memories of his appointment and tells us about the history of our department and more particularly of the Hôtel de la Préfecture, in the city center of Avignon.

The Hôtel de Forbin de Sainte-Croix and the Hôtel Foulc

Located opposite each other, the Hôtel de Forbin de Sainte-Croix and the Hôtel Foulc are respectively the Hôtel de la Préfecture and the Hôtel du Département.

Find the history of these two buildings in a document produced for an exhibition by the Departmental Archives and the Departmental Council of Vaucluse.
