In 1666, the old 12th century church, mentioned in 1135, dedicated to Saint Gervais38, being in poor condition, the Community Council decided to build the current church. The plans were drawn by Jean Daret, an Aix artist who also painted the altarpiece of the main altar in 1671, two paintings: Saint Gervais and Saint Protais martyrs at the feet of the Virgin and Child, Virgin and Child in a medallion in heart39. The facade consists of a fake wall topped with a sponge cake. The building was completed in 1669. This church appears in the spirit of the Counter-Reformation. On the church tower, a wrought iron campanile houses a bell dating from 1762

The Var hinterland was a hotbed of Resistance against the totalitarian German Nazi occupiers. The hills are dotted with commemorative plaques and also tombs. Text of the plaque: Passers-by, collect your thoughts. Here, on July 27, 1944, ten patriots (well...) resistance fighters locked up in Brignoles prison were taken and mistreated by the Nazis who loaded them with explosives in order to blow up the "Jas du Bessillon", thinking that # It sheltered resistance fighters. Their task completed, on the way back, they were cowardly murdered 2km from here at a place called Sainte Catherine. That same day, in the Bessillon maquis, the F.T.P.F. (French francs-tireurs and partisans, created at the end of 1941 by the leadership of the French Communist Party) of the “Battaglia” camp, 1st company of Provence, were attacked by the German “Brandenburg” division (3rd “Spezialeinheit Brandenburg” regiment). The 22 resistance fighters, hidden in the hillside, had separated into 3 groups. The first group suffered one death. The second emerged intact from the encirclement. The third group, almost at the top of Bessillon, suffered seven out of eight deaths. This was Nazi barbarism.
