Eglise Saint-Véran

Destroyed during the religious wars, the church of Saint-Véran was rebuilt in the 17th century. Two finely sculpted columns resting on two stylophoric lions (found in Guillestre and Abriès) support its wooden porch. Its interior decoration is rich in sculptures and statues.
In 1838, the church of this village was equipped with the present bell tower. It has a nave of three bays and a choir, a beautiful baroque furniture including an altarpiece from 1684 sculpted by Italian artists (framing a Christ on the cross), stained glass windows from the 19th century, a gallery and numerous statues (St-Véran, St-Joseph, the Curé d'Ars, St-François, the Virgin, etc.) or wooden altars.
The cemetery is located in the southern part of the building, overlooking the valley.

The church is open to the public during school vacations.
