Un endroit magnifique ou j'aime venir seul ou avec les enfants pour pique niquer ou simplement promener. On y croise des moutons, de jolies prairies, des vues superbes et le tout à deux pas du village.

Private property, closed for the public. The Chapel of Madelène, a Classified Historic Monument, is a captivating piece of art history. Its roots date back to ancient times (XI-XII centuries), as the site has been occupied since then. With a nearby spring and its location along a path leading to the northern slope of Ventoux via the Combe Obscure, the chapel has served as a stopping point for shepherds and travelers throughout history. Evidence of its significance can be seen in the remnants of a Gallo-Roman villa in the valley, including a preserved stele dedicated to the local deity, Sacanus, indicating its role as a place of worship.

In the 6th century, a small Christian necropolis was established, and by the end of the 10th century, when the village of Bédoin and its chapels were entrusted to the abbey of Montmajour, a preexisting building already existed. Originally dedicated to Saint-Pierre, it later acquired the name Sainte-Madeleine in the 16th century when it became part of a private domain.

The chapel stands as a remarkable testament to early Southern Romanesque art. Constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries, it features distinctive characteristics such as squat proportions, three semi-circular apses adorned with slates, barrel vaults, rugged stonework, and a bell tower embellished with geminate bays. Its exceptional preservation showcases the essence of early Southern Romanesque art.

In the 19th century, the estate came under the ownership of the Jules brothers, a prominent Carpentrassian family, further adding to its historical significance.

Overall, the Chapel of Madelène XI-XII centuries offers visitors a captivating journey through time, allowing them to appreciate the beauty and architectural prowess of early Southern Romanesque art while embracing the rich history of this remarkable site.
