Pernes-les-Fontaines remained the capital of Comtat Venaissin until Pope John XXII bought back the rights over Carpentras from its bishop. Two elements reveal the Jewish presence in this town: the name Place de la Juiverie and the traditional identification of the large house standing in that square as the old “Jewish baths”.

During Heritage Days in 2024, the Hôtel de Cheylus opened the doors of its mikveh to visitors. This mikveh dates back to the 16th century and has been listed as a historic monument since 1996.
