Chapelle Saint Blaise
Les Baux de Provence - Monument
The old Romanesque chapel of Saint Blaise, erected by the weavers' and carders' association in honour of their patron saint, dates back to the 12th century. It became the seat of their Brotherhood in the 18th century. This small chapel now screens a film called 'Provence seen from the Sky', which allows visitors to discover the wonderful places that make Provence unique. To the sounds of Mozart's piano concerto no 21, this new 15-minute film transports you to the most beautiful monuments and landscapes in Provence. It is shown on a loop during the Château's opening hours and can be purchased on DVD in the Château shop. The Chapel was built of dressed stone and has a single central nave. The semi-circular entrance door is surmounted by an oculus, a small round opening that allows light to enter (religious symbol). On top of the chapel is a restored bell-turret whose bell, still used today, was baptised by Mme Claude Pompidou. The architecture of this chapel is characteristic of the sobriety and simplicity of Romanesque religious buildings in Provence in the Middle Ages.

Inspirations
The cicada
The sun's rays are warming you through the pine trees, but you will not know if the summer is here until you hear THE CICADAS!
Candied Fruit
A gourmet treat…
Provence has been famed for its candied fruit from time immemorial. In the early 16th century, the region was fairly impoverished. Fruit grew here in abundance, but much of it was lost every year.
Goat's Cheese
Whether it's served hot with a salad, used to crown a cheese platter, or savoured fresh with honey or olive oil, goat's cheese is an absolute culinary must. Provence's dry, sunny climate is perfect for goat breeding -and that's lucky for us!
