Chapelle St-Amans de Valsorgue
With its feet in the river, the St-Amans de Valsorgue chapel is worth a stop on the road that runs along the Sorgue valley.
The association of the Friends of Saint Amans de Valsorgue, anxious not to leave its heritage to the abandonment maintains and renovates since 2010 this charming chapel built on water.
The chapel is built half in the river bed, on a rocky base. Its foundations anchored on this rock have resisted the whims of the river for centuries.
Inside, the upper part of the Romanesque apse was reworked in the Gothic period
In the 10th century, the chapel of St. Amans had an additional large chapel which no longer exists. On the outside wall of the church, on the cemetery side, you can still see the end of the arches that supported this chapel, which has now disappeared
