In Alpine regions such as Ubaye, parish churches played a central role in community life, both religiously and socially.

Their architecture often reflected local resources and know-how, adapted to the climatic and geographical constraints of mountain valleys.

These buildings were also visual and symbolic landmarks in sometimes isolated territories.
