Saint-Vincent Church
Highlight • Other
The Church of Saint-Vincent in Nyons is mentioned as early as the end of the 10th century. However, the current building was rebuilt during the first half of the 17th century, after the destruction caused by the Wars of Religion. Its wide nave retains a Romanesque appearance.
In 2009 and 2010, the church underwent a complete renovation, which included the restructuring and expansion of the sacristy, restoration of the vaults and paintings, the creation of a small exhibition room, asbestos removal from the boiler room, repairs to the roofs and facades, and replacement of the interior and exterior lighting.
The interior work and the restoration of the paintings were carried out by the municipality, in collaboration with the ABF (Architect of Buildings of France) and the Sacred Arts Commission.
Several remarkable paintings are preserved in the Church of St. Vincent and are regularly restored. They date from the first half of the 17th century: They came from a former Recollect convent (now the Temple):
• two works attributed to painters from Velay, Jean and Guy François, inspired by Caravaggio (The Adoration of the Shepherds and Saint Bonaventure); • a painting by Guillaume Perrier, brother of François Perrier, The Two Families of Christ;
• four paintings by a painter from the first half of the 17th century, inspired in particular by the Venetian school (The Burial of Christ, Christ with Martha and Mary, Christ and Mary Magdalene, as well as an Ecce Homo).
The altar tabernacle of the Saint-Joseph chapel is the work of a sculptor from Rouen, Pascal Jouvenet, who was a Recollect monk in Nyons and who created tabernacles for other Recollect convents (chapel of the local hospital in Bourg-Saint-Andéol, church in Montferrand). More than fifteen paintings displayed in the church are listed as historic monuments.

The Préau des Arts website provides a retrospective of the activities and exhibitions. lepreaudesarts.fr
Currently, artist Céline Busolini is exhibiting photographs from May 23rd to 29th, retouched on a computer to give them a different radiance.
The artist defines her works as follows: "Through borrowed places, overseen and forgotten, objects, materials, worn down and rendered invisible. Let this ray of light called imagination cross the threshold of our reality and leave traces, imprints... photographs." Because art is all around us, if we can hear its whispers and recognize it…

The historic bridge over the river is worth seeing, as is the tower "La Tour Randonne". The ascent through the narrow cobblestone streets is beautiful and the views are always surprising.

On the one hand, the city center with its weekly market where people mingle side by side in an indescribable hubbub and tumult.
On the other, the upper part of the city, much calmer and more serene, with all the charm of its tiny streets, cobblestone paths, and stone walls.
