Peyruis

On the right bank of the Durance river, Peyruis is located at the foot of wooded hills. The village is dominated by traces of a feudal castle which was demolished during the Revolution.
Make halt, place of the Republic, to look at some parts of balls under copious plane trees. Also benefit from their shade to read the poems of Henri Bérard (1869-1953) storyteller and local poet.

The parish church Saint Nicolas's Day presents elements of Gothic style (XVe century), stained glasses (XVIe-XVIe-XVIIe centuries) and a whole of murals quite representative of last century.

In the centre, the restored chapel of Saint-Roch (1720-1721) houses exhibitions.


Old fountains pour a flood of source water. Vestiges of houses of the 16th and 17th centuries (details on the facades).


Specialities: olive oils, fruit, nougats and chocolates.
