Visit of the Saint-Pierre church and its crib
Built around the year ten hundred, it is the parish church for the XVth century. Consisted at the origin of a single nave and of two spans of Romanic style, she(it) was often redeveloped over the centuries. From 1540 till 1574 are added two side naves: that of San José in the North and that of the Rosary at noon(south). In the XIXth century, the latter(this last) is extended by abolition(deletion) of the sacristy, rebuilt later outside and by extension(extra time) of three naves towards the West. The archbishops of Aix made important gifts(donations) for the decoration of the church and brotherhoods competed for the splendour of the chapels for which they had the responsibility.
