Taillades (French pronunciation: [tajad]; Occitan: Lei Talhadas) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.

It is 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Cavaillon, and 40 km (25 mi) south east of Avignon.

Situated in the Luberon, the village covers 675 hectares of which 320 are mountainside. It has a population of about 1,900 inhabitants.^[3]

The village was awarded the 'two flowers' standard in the national competition for floral villages.

History[]

The village developed as a community of stone workers employed at the quarries nearby. The entrance to the old village is marked by a medieval tower, a vestige of the original castle. The castle was rebuilt in the seventeenth century. In 1859, the village mill, Moulin Saint-Pierre, was built. Today it is used as a function room for the village.^[4]
