Chapelle Sainte-Madeleine, Pont-Mirabeau

This church is built just behind the Durance bridge, on a rocky outcrop located on an Alpine road and overlooking the river. It dates back to the 11th or 12th century

Here is the text engraved on the edifice, readable on one of the keys to the left of the entrance:

 

 

"Anna domini millesimo ducentesimo trigesimo nono,

III nonas junii sol obcuratus fu." "

Grad si commensas cofenira."

Oi ben fara, ben (trobara) ".

 

Which means :

"In the year of the Lord 1239,

the third of June, the sun became obscured:

think, be careful, if you begin, how you will end,

who will do well, will find.
