CHAPELLE SAINTE-EUGÉNIE
Chapel being the oldest still in activity in Nîmes, housing a Romanesque nave with barrel vault, historical monument
Nestling in the hills above Nîmes, the chapelle Sainte-Eugénie offers exceptional views over the garrigue. The town's oldest surviving church, mentioned as early as 956, is a listed historic monument with a Romanesque barrel-vaulted nave supported by sober double arches. Its facade, rebuilt in molded cement in the neo-Romanesque style in the 19th century, contrasts with the austerity of the interior. An ancient place of pilgrimage, it embodies a strong link between spirituality, heritage and the garrigue landscape.
