Les moines en pèlerinage. A l’orée de l’an mil, le royaume de France est à feu et à sang. Petits seigneurs et provinces, paysans et chevaliers, tous mènent une guerre incessante pour protéger leurs terres et leurs enfants ou étendre leur pouvoir. C’est au milieu de ce chaos que grandit Bénezet, fils de forgeron/paysan réduit à l’errance et à la misère sur les routes de Provence. Au fil des années, au gré de guerres et de périodes de paix, Bénezet assiste, impuissant, au spectacle tragique d’une Provence médiévale en plein désordre jusqu’à l’avènement salvateur de l’Abbaye Saint-Victor de Marseille. Envoyant ses moines bâtisseurs d’Arles à Aix-en-Provence en passant par Avignon, cet ordre devait dessiner la silhouette de la Provence et faire le salut d’humbles paysans comme Bénezet.

A pilgrimage in the Provence of the year 1000

In the medieval ruins of the castle of La Barben, meet Bénezet and discover an extraordinary life of battles, misfortunes and redemption. As a new millennium begins, plunge into medieval Provence, its upheavals and the golden century of the Abbey of Saint-Victor in Marseille. Let us tell you the story of Provence in the Middle Ages, from the numerous battles led by the Count of Provence to the Truce of God imposed on the lords by King Robert II the Pious of France and the Church. Stone by stone, contemplate the unparalleled work of the monk-builders to bring peace to the south of France.
