Eglise Saint Baudile

It occupies the site of a Roman villa located along the major Roman road linking Spain and Italy. The church is dedicated to Saint Baudile, a Roman legionnaire and deacon who was martyred in Nîmes in the year 300. The remains of an earlier building constructed in the 10th century by the bishops of Avignon, who owned the site, are still visible on the outside (at the top of the grand staircase) and inside (in the last bay under and on the platform). The current building includes several chapels added over the centuries around the nave and apse from the 12th century (classified as a Historic Monument in 1921). The building was classified as a Historic Monument in its entirety in 1999 and is open all year round. Extra information : Due to the good preservation of the building, the church square is sometimes used as a location for filming period films.
