Origin and history

The Sainte-Luce de Taillades Chapel is a 12th-century religious building in the commune of Taillades, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. This monument, inscribed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 21 January 1963, bears witness to the medieval religious architecture of the region. Its location, in the heart of the village, suggests a central role in the community life of the time.

In the 12th century, Provence was marked by a social and religious organization structured around local parishes and lords. Chapels like Sainte-Luce served as places of worship, assembly and sometimes refuge for the inhabitants. Their construction often reflected the influence of monastic orders or noble families, although the sources available for this chapel do not specify its exact sponsor. Approximate localization, noted as "a priori satisfactory", indicates a discrete but anchored presence in the historic Taillades landscape.

The administrative data confirm its membership in the department of Vaucluse, with an Insee code (84131) and an approximate address at 1 Rue de l'Église. The chapel, identified under cadastre B 732, remains a modest but significant example of Provencal religious heritage, protected for its historical and architectural value. No additional information is available regarding its current use (visits, events) or possible restorations.
