The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Provence

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.

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. 

It's the church of the old village now missing. Erected at the end of the xie, it was redesigned in the xive, then enlarged in the xviie just before the Old Puget was abandoned for the current plain village. Evidence of these many changes: its unusual architecture consisting of two neves ending each one by an abysmal abbey, and above all the double presence of the full-hanger and the warhead, symbols of two distinct eras. Today, it is listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments.

Dating back to the th century, this Romanesque Romanesque chapel is all that remains of a priory founded by the Abbey Saint-Michel-de-la-Gorges (Piedmont). From the th century to the th century, the Priory was held by the Order of Malta. Painted wooden altar, statues, paintings, motif on the ceiling of the choir are to be seen inside. Since 1992, there have been masses for the Saint Laurent (10/8) and All.
