Culture
Beaumont-de-Pertuis showcases its history through several religious buildings. In the heart of the village stands the Romanesque Église Saint Jean-Baptiste, dating from the 11th century; inside are five altarpieces. Outside the village lies the Chapelle Notre Dame de Beauvoir. Its interior is not open to the public in order to protect the rare frescoes. The chapel features painted decorations from the late 12th century depicting scenes from the New Testament, particularly from the life of Christ; such paintings are rare in the region.
Another historical feature is the Chapelle et prieuré Saint-Eucher. It can be reached via a short, difficult-to-find footpath at the foot of the steep cliff next to the D996. The cave known as Saint-Eucher opens into the rock face; its entrance was converted into a chapel in the 17th century.
The Ermitage Sainte-Croix is located on the hill above the village of Beaumont-de-Pertuis. The pilgrim chapel dates from the 12th century and is situated at an altitude of 516 metres.
