I ducked in here to avoid the rain at the end of a long day and was captivated by this small church. It was the first church we had been in in France which had wood panelling lining the altar. I had admired its gold statue outside near the Palais des Papes but didn't go in from the square. I literally stumbled upon it while leaving the Rocher des Domes park. It was surprisingly simple inside and so beautiful. A very quiet place to chill out and admire.
