Dating back to 1725 this campanile was created by Guillaume Bounard de Rians in 1725. It was commissioned first of all as the belfry for the town hall, but in 1868 it was reinstalled as the bell tower for this church when that town hall was demolished. It is considered to be one of the most finely worked campaniles in the Mediterranean area.
