It is one of the most modestly proportioned examples of Romanesque art. Although the date of construction is still uncertain, it is a shingled-roofed chapel for the Lord’s house, with two thatched absidioles.

The single nave has three semicircular bays and ends in a semicircular apse topped by a cul-de-four.

The church was once decorated with murals dating from the early 16th century, of which only a few fragments remain today: on the side aisles, the four Evangelists, St. George slaying a dragon, and on the inside of the west facade, a painting depicting the Last Judgement.

The gallery dates from 1663. It is made of wood painted with “boris”, a clay-based paint used to mark sheep. The main beam at the back features a balance and the Old French inscription “Pêcheur, en entrant dedans l’église, souviens toi que tu es en la présence de Dieu” (“Fisherman, as you enter the church, remember that you are in the presence of God”).

Symbolic initials and insignia also stand out: crosses and signs of the zodiac, suns and moons, Maltese crosses, monstrances.

The recumbent fleurs-de-lis mark opposition to royalty; this was the beginning of the revolution, and the people of Dévoluy were no strangers to the movement.

This summer, you can once again visit this architectural gem. More information to follow.
