A little bit of history...
In 1677, during a pastoral visit, Bishop de Clermont Tonnerre, Bishop of Fréjus, ordered that a church be built in this place where the majority of the inhabitants had retired. The construction will be completed in 1680; in 1849 a vault collapsed on a Sunday during Mass, some faithful were wounded. In 1852, we took advantage of this unfortunate event to restore the building and enlarge it.
