The parish church of Saint-Véran in the eponymous municipality of the Hautes-Alpes department is dedicated to the patron saint bishop of Cavaillon. He allegedly made a dragon flee from Vaucluse to the locality of Queyras, where a relic bone is kept. The current church was rebuilt in the 17th century after the ravages of the French Wars of Religion. It retains from the initial Protestant temple deprived of apse or bell tower two column-bearing pen lions that support its wooden entrance porch as well as some architectural motifs (columns, capitals, stoup). Its current bell tower was added in 1838. Listed as a Historical Monument since 1973, the parish church of Saint-Véran is surrounded by the cemetery in which the Catholic inhabitants rest.
