Église Saint-Trophyme de Bormes-les-Mimosas, Catholic church in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France.
Description
Église Saint-Trophyme is a Catholic church building in the medieval village of Bormes-les-Mimosas with white stone walls and large arched windows. It occupies a central location in the heart of the village and serves as a clear landmark for visitors exploring the area.
History
The previous church had deteriorated by 1771 and was no longer usable, prompting construction of a new church building in the village center. This replacement was completed in 1783 and resumed religious services.
Culture
The interior holds religious frescoes showing God the Father and a Virgin Mary altar with angels, artworks that were hidden beneath layers for a long time before being rediscovered. These painted images show the artistic care that went into making this a place of devotion.
Practical
The building is open daily to visitors without any entrance fee, making it a free stop while exploring the village. It sits on Rue Carnot and is easily reached on foot from the village center.
