VILLEMUS
VILLEMUS
Villemus is a hidden gem tucked away in the Provençal countryside.
The village climbs the hillside in terraces, and exploring it—especially the castle ruins at the top—requires a good pair of legs and plenty of stairs.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered a Gallo-Roman necropolis in the area, including a remarkable lead sarcophagus.
Remnants of the fortified castle still stand, including a 10-meter tower and the fortified house of Le Castellet (17th century).
what to see
Church of Saint-Étienne
The parish church of Villemus, dedicated to Saint Étienne and placed under the patronage of Saint Trophimus of Arles, is a remarkable 17th-century structure that retains subtle Romanesque influences. A covered walkway connects the church to its presbytery, adding a distinctive architectural element.
La Grande Bastide
Nestled in the heart of the village stands the magnificent Grande Bastide, a building closer to a château than a simple manor house. Built between 1600 and 1650, it forms a harmonious architectural ensemble around a central courtyard.
Notre-Dame-du-Largue Priory
This architectural gem has been officially recognized as a historic monument since February 21, 1989, when it was added to the inventory of historic monuments.
Chapel of Notre-Dame du Pont
Also known as the Chapel of Largue or des Craux, this site is a rich architectural testament to Provençal history. This former priory, dating from the late 11th or 12th century, still preserves traces of its Romanesque heritage. Its treasures include a two-story building with paired doorways and magnificent Romanesque arches.
