OUR LADY OF NAZARETH CHURCH
Read moreA typical building of the romanesque churches of Provence of which most elements date from the 12th century. Have been mentioned as a major priory in the 13th century like an important prieure, the Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth church would have been founded, according to the legend, by Charlemagne. The latter would have built the humble chapel that it was at the beginning, in thanks to the Virgin for the victory that he had just earned on the Saracens. The building was rebuilt in the following centuries. Here you can still see the traces of the fire lit by the baron of the Adrets in 1562. Inside, you can also notice the organ built in the 16th century then restored in 1975. Some chapels keep the traces of old paintings. Outside, you are attracted by the imposing appearance of its fortified bell tower, one of the characteristics is that there seems to be no way to access it. Its fame is such as the church was part of the first list of the French historical monuments, in 1840.

THE CHAPEL OF THE WHITE PENITENTS
Read morePernes has made a small "secular miracle" with its chapel of White Penance, as it has become a centrepiece of pernoise cultural activity. Located in 1152 on the ruins of a pagan temple dedicated to Diane, she was the first church in the village. Intimately interwoven in the heart of its medieval rampart, it almost disappeared several times during its nine centuries of history. The twentieth and his escapades were almost right from her, exhausting to ruin and the her into the forgotten memory after the opening of the Augustins cultural centre, in another historic church in the city. Priory, chapel, place of catechism, daycare, nursery school, variety room, festive room… It is finally in 2004 that the chapel opens its doors to the public and finds all its youth together with its walls, its soil, its alcoves, its original niches and its two mini chapels.

THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF GRACE AND SAINT MAURICE
Read moreThe visit is to be done! Enter the Jewish door and raise your eyes towards a small Italian organ. Its ornate Baroque decor was classified by Historical Monuments in 1849. The nave, with its late Romanesque vaults, houses statues before each pillar. The golden altarpiece has a central panel dating back to 1480, dedicated to Saint Georges. Side panels (1532) present Saint Maurice, patron of the city. The tomb of white marble (1501) is that of a vice-king of Naples: Estienne de Vesc. A persistent legend says that under the current church, an underground church is buried as high as the visible church.
