Saint-Vincent-de-Barbeyrargues
A perched village and wine producer, Saint-Vincent-de-Barbeyrargues offers the originality of a terroir influenced by the proximity of the Mediterranean, with wines under the Grés de Montpellier appellation.
From the square in Saint-Vincent-de-Barbeyrargues, the view extends to the Pic Saint-Loup.
The Romanesque church, classified as a historical monument, is located here, signifying the pre-eminence of Christian worship in a place marked by the close presence of an oppidum and probable vestiges of paganism.
Exceptionally in the region, it was established by the monks of the abbey of Saint-Chaffe-du-Monastier in the Velay, probably in connection with a long tradition of reverse transhumance along the Chemin de Régordane.
This affiliation is betrayed by the style of the building which, however, was badly damaged during the Wars of Religion and partially rebuilt during the 17th century on a different plan from the original one as far as the nave is concerned.
Here and there, the countryside has retained its former appearance, with wells, cisterns and scales...
