Montée de la vieille église, 30650 Rochefort-du-Gard
This was the first parish church, named after Saint Bardulphe. It existed in 1195 and was stated on the list of possessions belonging to the Abbey of Saint André in Villeneuve.
Romanesque style, reworked in the 16th century. The vaulted choir dates from the first half of the 12th century. The set of mural paintings is outstanding, and dates from 1608. The nave still has its holy water font, but it no longer has the Baptismal basin, which today is in the village church. Two bells remain. The western bell cast in 1641 and the Southern bell cast in 954.

In the year 1189, Bishop Rostaing from Avignon gave the church of Saint Bardulphe to the Benedictine abbey...
