The Romanesque part of the Église Saint-Sidoine dates from the 10th century. In the 16th century, it was dedicated jointly to Saint Étienne and Sainte Victoire and expanded to include six side chapels. Near the church in the village of Vauvenargues is the Maison du Grand Site.
The Prieuré Sainte-Victoire dates from 1661/74. The hike there and to the Croix de Provence begins at the Cabassols car park in Vauvenargues, is 12 km long, has an elevation gain of 600 metres and takes four hours.
