The most beautiful religious buildings Provence

Offices from Monday to Saturday at a. m. and Sundays at p. m.

Office on Saturday at 17 am.

On the facade of this religious building built in 1820 appears an armed and helmeted saint Tropez. Inside, the saint's relics are kept in golden reliquaries. His painted wood bust is the principal ornament of all processions of bravado.

Built from 1675 and opened in 1685, it contains the relics of Saint Maxime, patron of the village. It contains retables in gilded sculpted wood, 1762, tables, votive offerings, a statue of Saint Donat in gold painted wood, from the late sixteenth century. The apse is decorated with a monumental altar. Antique stained glass, faithfully restored in the workshops of Fernand Léger de Biot, illuminates. The bell tower, of Romanesque style, is coated with multi-coloured glazed tiles.

Founded in 1585, the Brotherhood of White Krajina settled near the church Saint-Jean-du-Bourg, between Charity and City hall. The two-tiered façade, perched on the stands of ten steps, is crowned with a moulurée corniche surmounted by a clocher. Note the frise frise and the oculus under the triangular pediment. Still a monument of Roman inspiration. The Black Doubs Chapel is located in front of the DJC, but is now closed to the public, apart from its fragility. If the brotherhood was founded in 1317, the chapel will be built only between 1738 and 1741 by the well-known architect Antoine of German. It is firmly marked by classicism: unique nave, stone facade framed with pilasters, narrow and narrow niches, portal surmounted by a rectangular panel lined with palm trees and an bended pediment.

This chapel is now dedicated to art. And what strikes visitors most is its highly harmonious majestic architectural proportions... a wonder behind a fairly discreet façade. Exhibitions are organised there regularly. Suitable for large formats, it is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places to hang out in Vaucluse. You will also find the famous "Salon des santonniers" of the city throughout December.

The Sainte-Léonce cathedral, classified as a historical monument since 1862, is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in France and one of the most visited sites in the region. It has 2 naves, Notre-Dame, composed of 3 cross vaults with cross windows and Saint-Etienne which has 6 barrel vaults. The baptistery, one of the oldest in France, located on the southwest side of the cathedral, has an octagonal room and a baptismal font.

Unique building in matter of shape and purpose, the replica of the Sudanese Mosque of Djenné was built in 1930 in the former military camp.

Rebuilt in 1508 in flamboyant style on the ruins of a twelfth century church, it houses the oldest church bell dating from Var (1458). Its pentagonal apse is lit by stained glass windows of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Built on the ramparts, it is an architectural curiosity. On December 2nd, 2004, the municipality obtained the "Heritage ribbons departmental award" for the quality of work undertaken.

Classified as Historic Monument since 1913, Our lady of Bethlehem, one of the largest churches of High Provences with its 32 metres high, is part of its hidden treasures. To access it, you need to explore a long trail that climbs up to the old village of Walnut-sur-Jabron, abandoned for decades. This building was built in the th century and depends on the Monastery of Ganagobie.
