Saint-Christol, Commune in Vaucluse, France
Saint-Christol is a small commune located in Vaucluse at 884 meters (2,900 feet) elevation in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The village sits surrounded by lavender fields and wheat crops that characterize the landscape of the Albion plateau.
The Notre-Dame de Saint-Christophe church was built in 1119 by Benedictine monks from a nearby monastery and features distinctive animal carvings on its columns. This structure marks the medieval origins of the settlement and its religious significance during that era.
The town maintains several associations that organize regular social gatherings, sports events, and traditional celebrations throughout the year at the polyvalent hall.
The village is accessible via the D30 road, located about 12 kilometers (7 miles) south of Sault. This location provides convenient connections to larger regional cities like Apt, Forcalquier, and Carpentras.
Beneath the Albion plateau lies an extensive network of natural caves including Aven de La Cervi, Aven Autran, and Trou Souffleur. This underground landscape contains geological formations that reveal the complex karst geology hidden below the surface around the village.
