Origin and history

The Saint-Blaise church of Saint-Blaise, located in Bollène, is a religious monument whose exact origins are not specified in the available sources. His name evokes Saint Blaise, a Christian saint often associated with protection against sore throats and wool-related occupations, but no historical details specific to this building are mentioned. In the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, medieval and modern churches played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering and sometimes refuge.

Bollène, like other municipalities in the region, was able to know a social organization marked by agriculture, crafts and trade, with the religious monument as the focal point of local life.
