Beaumes De Venise: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture
The Chapelle de Notre-Dame-d'Aubune was classified as a historic monument by decree of 19 November 1910. The bell tower of the Chapelle Notre-Dame d'Aubune is considered a Romanesque masterpiece of the 12th century; the chapel also includes a priory classified as a historic monument.
The Espace Archéologique et Géologique presents Greek, Roman, Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeological remains found in the area of Beaumes-de-Venise in a permanent exhibition. A cave at the Arc de Venasque houses the mineralogy and palaeontology collections of Marc Igoulen and Philippe-Jean Coulomb.
The Jardin Médiéval d'Aubune was created in 2014/2015 and follows the form and philosophy of medieval gardens according to the guidelines of the Capitulaire de Villis. Aromatic, dye, culinary, fragrant and medicinal plants grow there. At the Aubune site, volunteers from the Académie de Beaumes-de-Venise offer free guided tours of the archaeological museum, the medieval garden, the spring gallery and the exterior area of the chapel.
The area around the Aubune spring and its gallery has been designed to facilitate access and visibility. The Rocher de Rocalinaud, also known as the “Moon Rock”, is a sandy sandstone formation with numerous cavities and water reservoirs. From prehistoric times until the end of the 16th century, it served as a place of refuge.
