Origin and history

The church Sainte-Bernadette de la Remonte is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Raphaël, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or the exact circumstances of its foundation, but its name evokes a connection with Saint Bernadette Soubirous, a major figure of 19th-century French Catholicism. In this Mediterranean region, local churches have often played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering and spiritual support.

In Saint-Raphaël, as in other coastal cities, these buildings also reflect the demographic and urban evolution, marked by the influx of faithful and visitors, especially since the 19th century.
