SAINT-CHRISTOL-D'ALBION     

This village is regarded as a caving centre where several potholes are open and accessible, namely the remarkable chasms of Cervi, the l'Aven-Autran and the Trou-Souffleur, at the bottom of which the river of Albion runs to the Fontaine de Vaucluse.

The Romanesque listed church, Notre-Dame and Saint-Christophe, was built at the beginning of and during the XIIth century by the Benedictines of Saint-André from Villeneuve-les-Avignon- Lord d’Agoult entrusted them with the development of this building before leaving for his crusade with Urbain II.  The sanctuary is decorated with an exceptional richness, a rarity in Haute-Provence.
