Vestiges Médiévaux de St Laurent des Arbres

Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres is a medieval village with remarkable architectural heritage. Situated among vineyards, the village is dominated by a fortified church built by Pope John XXII, typical of Provençal Romanesque art, and a rectangular keep from the 14th century, both classified as historical monuments since 1892. The Ribas Tower, which houses the Tourist Office and is near the keep, dates back to the Roman era and was classified as a historical monument in 1941. It contains a model of the village depicting how the city might have appeared in the Middle Ages (a very useful educational tool for children and school visits). For relaxation, there are pine forests in the village suitable for hiking (GR 42).
