Sainte-Marie de l'Assomption Cathedral, with contemporary stained glass windows by Korean father Kim En Joong.

The medieval town church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption (listed as a Monument Historique) overlooks the Ouvèze river and the lower town. In the 12th and 13th centuries, the rival Counts of Toulouse and Bishops of Vaison triggered a population movement away from the lower town. The church of Haute-Ville was born. Thanks to Swiss patron Leonard Gianadda, 19 contemporary stained-glass windows by Korean father Kim En Joong decorate the bays.

La Cathédrale Sainte-Marie de l'Assomption 84110 Vaison-La-Romaine
La Cathédrale Sainte-Marie de l'Assomption est située dans la ville haute de Vaison-La-Romaine. Elle offre de beaux points de vue sur la ville avec le Mont Ventoux en toile de fond. Cette Cathédrale affiche une façade relativement sobre mais son intérieur permet de découvrir de jolies petites chapelles (chapelle du Sacré-Coeur, chapelle Sainte Rusticule, chapelle de la Vierge...), un autel joliment ouvragé et de magnifiques vitraux, que j'ai personnellement adorés et trouvés très originaux. A noter qu'un don de 1 euro minimum est demandé à l'entrée par l'Association Les Amis de l’Église de la Cité Médiévale (AECM), ces dons étant destinés à financer des travaux de restauration de la toiture. La Cathédrale Sainte-Marie de l'Assomption mérite la visite.
