Perched on a knoll in the hamlet of Escoulin, the church of Saint-Pierre de Sépie dominates an imposing panorama. It was built on the site of a pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Andarta, protector of bears and hunters (arta meaning bear in Gaulish), a divinity found mainly in the Diois region. This 12th-century building is the last vestige of an Antonine priory.
