Les Mages: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Eglise des Mages is located in the centre of Les Mages. Its façade features a 12-metre-high fresco painted by Jean Marc Fraisse in 2012. It tells the story of the Three Wise Men, who, according to tradition, are said to have passed through this village and given three gifts: the secret of olives, meaning olive oil; the secret of black stones, meaning coal; and the secret of the silkworms of the mulberry tree, meaning silk.
Renting a holiday apartment in Les Mages is one possible choice as part of your personal travel planning.

The Lavoir du Moinas is part of the village landscape. It was built in the 1930s and restored in 2012.
