In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Romanesque chapels like Saint-Victor often played a central role in the religious and community life of the villages. At that time, the local population lived mainly in agriculture, crafts and commerce, while religious buildings served as places of worship, assembly and sometimes spiritual protection. These monuments reflect the importance of the Christian faith in medieval social organization.
