Origin and history

Saint-Jean-Marie-Vianney Church, also known as Camp-Major du Charrel, is a religious monument located in the commune of Aubagne. This place of worship bears the name of Jean-Marie Vianney, emblematic figure of French Catholicism of the 19th century, although the available sources do not specify the date of its construction or its detailed history. Religious buildings such as this church played a central role in the life of local communities, especially in Provence.

They served as a gathering place for services, religious festivals and social events. In Aubagne, as in other cities in the region, these buildings often reflected the importance of faith in everyday life, while marking the local architectural and cultural landscape.
