Claim
which comprises 15 communes
Correction

Grand Avignon has 16 member communes, not 15.

Full reasoning

The official Grand Avignon documentation says the Communauté d’agglomération du Grand Avignon regroups 16 communes (9 in Vaucluse and 7 in Gard), not 15. Because the article is describing the current composition of the intercommunal body, the number here is incorrect.

Claim
New Haven, Connecticut, USA since 1993
Correction

Avignon's official site lists New-Haven as a friendship agreement from 1979, not an official twin town from 1993.

Full reasoning

Avignon's official municipal page distinguishes between official twin towns and friendship agreements. On that page, New-Haven (États-Unis) appears under "Les conventions d'amitiés" with the date 1979. It is therefore incorrect to list New Haven here as a twin town, and the date 1993 is also inconsistent with the city's official record.

Claim
Guanajuato, Mexico since 1990
Correction

Avignon's official site lists Guanajuato as a friendship agreement from 1991, not an official twin town from 1990.

Full reasoning

According to Avignon's official "Jumelages" page, Guanajuato (Mexique) is listed among the city's friendship agreements rather than its official twin towns. The same page gives the date as 1991, not 1990. So both the relationship type and the year in this entry are incorrect.

Claim
Siena, Italy since 1981
Correction

Avignon's official site dates the Siena twinning to November 1961, not 1981.

Full reasoning

The City of Avignon's official twinning page lists Sienne (Italie) among Avignon's 7 official twin towns and gives the date as novembre 1961. That directly contradicts the article's statement that Siena has been twinned with Avignon since 1981.

Diourbel, Senegal since 1961

Claim
Tarragona, Spain since 1968
Correction

Avignon's official site dates the Tarragona twinning to October 1969, not 1968.

Full reasoning

Avignon's official municipal twinning page lists Tarragone (Espagne) as one of the city's official twin towns and gives the date as octobre 1969. That directly contradicts the article's statement that Tarragona has been twinned with Avignon since 1968.
