THE CHURCH
Church in Lourmarin, designed to secure the entrance to the eponymous combe, the most dangerous passage in Basse-Provence.
The Church of Saint-André-et-Saint-Trophime was built in the 11th century, shortly before the construction of the Lourmarin belfry in the 12th century. Designed to secure the entrance to the eponymous combe, considered at the time to be the "most dangerous passage in Basse-Provence", the castellas gave way to the Château de Lourmarin in the 15th century. Its baptismal font is magnificent: a block of stone that once belonged to the château, it features a wolf on one side, the emblem of Lourmarin and the d'Agoult family. Bosco called it "the bastion of poetry".
