BENEDICTINE PRIORY
A priory with Provençal Romanesque decoration from the century, consisting of a square cloister to the north-east and a church to the south-east.
This priory, classified as a historic monument, distinguishes itself by its th century Provençal decoration, its columns and th century capitals, not forgetting its numerous mosaics (which can be found in the soil of the apse and the span). It consists of a square cloister with a well in the northeast, a church in the south-east, a dining - transformed into the th century in parish church - in the northwest, in common, in a former chapter hall and a dormitory in the south-east. The ensemble decor is directly inspired by the ancient style, despite the geographical remoteness of the major romanization centres (Gap, Sisteron, Orange and Vaison). The southern chapel of the priory is the best preserved of this monastic ensemble. It consists of a absidiole and a rectangular span.
