which comprises 15 communes
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.

New Haven, Connecticut, USA since 1993
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.

Guanajuato, Mexico since 1990
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.
