The oldest church of the diocese of Cavaillon in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, of Provençal Romanesque style, sheltering many treasures

Built on the remains of a pagan temple (between the 6thand 7thcenturies ), the church is one of the oldest in the Cavaillon diocese to have remained intact. With its pure Provençal Romanesque style, it is remarkable for its simplicity and hides many treasures, including a copy of Nicolas Mignard's painting (1661), an altar table of Roman origin... It was dedicated to the Virgin Mary before being dedicated to Saint Véran. Born in Vaucluse, he was bishop of Cavaillon and died in 590 during the Council of Arles. His tomb is located in the church crypt.

Eglise Saint-Véran 84800 Fontaine-De-Vaucluse
Située à Fontaine de Vaucluse, l'Eglise Saint-Véran est plutôt sobre mais belle dans ses détails. Sur le côté nord, une corniche à modillons cerne la haute muraille de l'église. Des masques d'hommes et de têtes d'animaux, tels le lion, le bœuf, la chauve-souris ou le renard sont représentés sur chaque modillon. A l'intérieur, de beaux tableaux et, à l'entrée de la crypte contenant le tombeau de l'évêque de Cavaillon, un panneau expliquant son histoire et la raison pour laquelle Saint Véran est souvent représenté tenant en chaîne un dragon ailé, la couloubre. L'Eglise Saint-Véran mérite la visite. Elle a d'ailleurs été mon coup de cœur !
