'''Cabrières-d'Avignon''' (; ) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
==History== The Château and the village were the scene of the massacre in 1545 of about 700 Vaudois, or Waldensians—a reformist group declared heretical by the Catholic church. Men, women, and children were tortured and killed. The events are known as the Massacre of Mérindol, after the campaign which began in nearby Mérindol and resulted in the destruction of between 22 and 28 villages.
