Chapel of Saint-Pierre-de-Castres

Tresques, France

Isolated at the top of a steep hill, the chapel is probably part of one of the eldest Cistercian priories of the Rhône valley.

Hidden in a tight forest of holm oaks, the walls, covered with lichen and moss, catch the sun’s rays in a discrete and sensitive way. Some of the stones preserve the traces of the tools that shaped them 900 years ago.
