Under the pontificate of Benedict VIII, the church was consecrated, along with the Sainte Croix chapel, by Monseigneur de Solsanne, Bishop of Teanum, on November 21, 1407. Placed under the patronage of Saint John the Baptist, it took the name of Notre Dame des Grâces.
It is originally a Romanesque church full hanger of the 12th century on the first two bays. It was extended a first time in the 14th century, at the time of the cardinal Grimoard, brother of Pope Urban V, by adding two Gothic bays and an apse in 1324. The porch, in the form of mantel, date from the 15th century.The Bell Tower was raised on St. Croix Chapel between 1486 and 1492. It is 21 meters high and a rise of 7 m overcomes. She kicked balls in 1794 (rebuilt in 1983), destroyed during the French Revolution. All its bells, except one, were shipped to Marseille for "weapons against the enemies of the Nation". The Bell Tower and the porch are classified historical monuments since 1921.
