Valréas - Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth

Valréas - Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth
From the 14th century upto the French Revolution Valréas and some neighbouring regions were in the ownership of the Holy See. The region is still called "enclave des papes".

Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth was erected on preceding foundations. Within the 11th century a single nave church in Latin Cross design existed. Two aisles were already added in the 12th century. Numerous enlargements and alterations were done and eight side chapels were added over the centuries. The southern portal dates to the 13th century, reusing carvings from an older building.
