Chapelle Saint Barthélémy (Private) This ruined church is a very early example of the Christianization of rural areas.

Discreetly located on the western slope of the Florièyes (Floreia) valley, south of the medieval road bridge (1745), its remoteness from Lorgues does not prevent it from having been attached to a major church, the collegiate church of St. Martin, since its foundation in 1421. This edifice of memory is now on the verge of disappearing altogether, in the midst of general indifference.
