Vals - Sainte-Marie
The enigmatic church Notre-Dame de Vals towers over the tiny village of Vals (pop 90). The church, that is partly "troglodyte", carved into the giant rock, has three levels. The oldest part, called "the crypt", probably dates to the 9th or 10th century.
Narrow steps lead up to the entrance of the crypt. In 2008 a Neolithic burial ground was found in the cracks of the rock. It was dated to around 2500 BC.
