Visit free of the church Saint Laurent(Lawrence).

Church parish of Aubenas.
15 and 16 September 2018Passed

The church Saint Laurent(Lawrence) of Aubenas is built at the heart of the old woman-city. It is almost entirely enclosed in ambient constructions. His(Her,Its) facade of entrance(entry) earths up roughly on the street without real square, without announcing either as most buildings of his(her,its) importance. A second lateral portal(gate) is so discreet as they pass in front of(come before) without seeing it. It would be possible to think of an entrance(entry) of insignificant building. Only a small statue of the Virgin(Virgo) above the portal(gate) announces the vocation of the place. The main facade, of neo-Romanic style of the XIXth century, resumes(takes back) artillery aesthetics of Romance architecture without embellishment nor unreliable interpretation(performance). The inside of the church is very dark because it is fitted tightly round of constructions on highly-rated, so only stained-glass windows partly high of the nave bring a bit clarity(brightness). The chorus(choir) includes rich stalls and retables baroque style resulting(coming) from the old(former) chapel of the middle school(college) of the Jesuits of the city, destroyed at the beginning of the XXth century. All these elements are wooden dark left with nude without stuccos nor gilding. Fine and delicate forums(stands) take off between the impressive pillars which support the heavy vault with crossing of ogives. The church is opened every day and free and free visit.

About the location

Eglise Saint-Laurent
6 rue Champalbert, 07200 Aubenas, Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
  • Ardèche
  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
The main facade, of neo-Romanic style of the XIXth century, resumes(takes back) artillery aesthetics of Romance architecture without embellishment nor unreliable interpretation(performance). The inside of the church is very dark because it is fitted tightly round of constructions on highly-rated, so only stained-glass windows partly high of the nave bring a bit clarity(brightness). The entire nave and low-highly-rated are filled with benches. They feel(smell) a bit suffocated(suppressed) by this overload of furniture and this lack of space. But surely that at a moment of its history(story) they had all their utility.
The chorus(choir) includes rich stalls and furniture of very opulent baroque style. All these elements are wooden dark left with nude without stuccos nor gilding. So they are not much emphasised in semi ambient darkness and it is not the golden bronze night lights which allow to appreciate(estimate) all wealth of the sculpture however of a big(great) refinement.
Fine and delicate forums(stands) take off between the impressive pillars which support the heavy vault with crossing of ogives. They are not much raised(not much brought up) and return well their heaviness and robustness of set(group). So guardrails in very openwork ironworks of forums(stands) play everything in contrast.
