Hôtel-Dieu of Carpentras, 18th-century hospital building in Carpentras, France.

The Hôtel-Dieu features a grand western facade with six large fire pots and extends around a central courtyard with multiple wings.

Between 1750 and 1762, architect Antoine d'Allemand constructed this hospital under the direction of Bishop Malachie d'Inguimbert during the Age of Enlightenment.

The chapel holds Bishop d'Inguimbert's tomb, while the pharmacy preserves painted woodwork and an intact collection of 16th and 17th-century earthenware.

The building now houses the Inguimbertine Library and municipal cultural center, with regular exhibitions and guided tours available throughout the year.

The hospital's courtyard transforms into France's most significant truffle market every winter since November 2008.
