Draguignan. The Jewry

Jews lived in Draguignan, a village roughly 50 kilometers north of Saint-Tropez, from at least the thirteenth century. In the mid-fourteenth century, the self-governing Jewish community in Draguignan numbered between 200 and 250 members, and in the early fifteenth century the Jewish quarter was no longer able to hold them all. Jewish life in the village ended with the expulsion of 1501.
