 MallefougasseLocated at the foot of the Lure mountain, Mallefougasse is a village living according to the pace of seasons. Illuminated by nice sunny days, the night is studded with stars of a pure sky.
This small village consists of houses made of dry stones, narrow streets crossed by alleys, covered passages called "andrônes". |
Saint-John the Baptist's Church which was listed in the inventory of Ancient Monuments in 1997 is a rare specimen of the first Romanesque art. A bull delivered by Pope Géiase in 1118 registered this church as one of the priories of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-André de Villeneuve lès Avignon.
With its beautiful square bell tower, this church consists of an apse and two apsidal chapels which communicate with the nave. Saint-John the Baptist's Church houses very beautiful frescoes from the 17th century hidden under paintings from the 19th century. |
