Nestled in Avignon, the Eglise Notre-Dame-des-Sablons boasts a time-worn stone façade and stark interiors that bear witness to its tumultuous past. Ransacked by Protestants in the 16th century and used as barracks during the French Revolution, this Catholic church has endured significant hardships. Restored in the 19th century, it now stands as a testament to resilience. Visitors can explore its historic grounds, where the layers of history are palpable in every weathered stone and quiet, unadorned space.
