Mollégès - the newly renovated Château by Beausoleil
Mollégès is a village in Provence that is currently growing. It is nearly a suburb of Saint-Remy-de-Provence and very near Avignon and many of the Provencal perched villages. It's a great central base for exploring the Luberon. They recently renovated the Château and the town is spic and span. They have all the necessities of life including good roads. It also manages to be quiet and fairly untouristed. They have a monument to the draft horse that is unique in the world. It is the cheval de trait and is the only stone monument to a draft horse carved from a single block of stone. It stands in front of the Château and near the stadium, church and recycling center . . . and free parking. The monument was carved by Camille Soccorsi from Tarascon. Work on the church, Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens, undertaken in the 1960s revealed paintings from the 19th century. The decoration of the choir with its landscapes of Provence was recently carried out by Anastasie Tchougounova-Tetrel. These also appear to be somewhat unique since we haven't seen anything similar in churches in Provence.

Poster at the Van Gogh Center in Auvers-sur-Oise by Beausoleil
We were staying in nearby Maffliers and took a Sunday to visit Auvers-sur-Oise and explore the Van Gogh heritage. Unfortunately, it was during the COVID shutdown so we saw a lot but we didn't get into the closed Van Gogh Center. Good excuse for another trip someday.

Riders getting ready for an event at Auvers-sur-Oise by Beausoleil
There was a bicycle sporting event the day we attempted to visit the Van Gogh Center in Auvers-sur-Oise. It made driving a challenge.

Notre Dame de l’Assomption painted by Vincent Van Gogh by Beausoleil
This is the church at Auvers-sur-Oise painted by Van Gogh. I've always loved the painting and wanted to see the church. This was the trip. We were staying in nearby Maffliers and took a Sunday to visit Auvers-sur-Oise and explore the Van Gogh heritage. Unfortunately, it was during the COVID shutdown so we saw a lot but we didn't get into the closed Van Gogh Center. Good excuse for another trip someday. We parked by the church and got photos of the church from Van Gogh's vantage point and then the rest of the beautiful church. There was a service while we were there so we didn't go inside since we couldn't take photos.

View from Église Saint-Valery de Varengeville-sur-Mer by Beausoleil
The church of St. Valery sits on a cliff above the ocean. The views are amazing. The abstract blue stained glass window was designed by Raoul Ubac, a friend of Georges Braque. The large painting of Christ the Redeemer is by Michel Ciry, a gift to the church in 1998. In 2009 M. Ciry offered the two paintings that flank it. There is an amazing column with carving inspired by sea voyages and one with a spiral of ropes and scallop shells. On the altar is a tabernacle designed by Braque and the Tree of Jesse window is by Braque who is buried in the churchyard.
