Église Saint-Vincent des Baux, 12th century Romanesque church in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.
Saint-Vincent Church features a nave with ribbed barrel vaulting and extends eastward, partially built into the surrounding limestone rock formations.
Originally functioning as a priory dependent on Saint-Paul de Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the church underwent substantial modifications during 19th-century restoration work.
During Christmas midnight mass, the pastrage ceremony involves local shepherds presenting a newborn lamb to the Baby Jesus in a traditional cart.
The church interior displays modern stained glass windows created by Max Ingrand in 1960, gifted by Prince Rainier III of Monaco.
The Lantern of the Dead, a circular turret with gargoyles on the south side, traditionally held a flame when residents of Les Baux passed away.
