FR Le clocher-tour carré est surmonté d’un élégant campanile de ferronnerie, un des plus anciens et des plus beaux de Provence. Ce chef d’œuvre, monté et assemblé sans aucune soudure, fut réalisé en 1725 par un forgeron de Valensole, Guillaume Bounard, natif de Rians, pour la tour de l’horloge sise autrefois sur cette place Saint-Sauveur. À la suite de la démolition de cette tour en 1862, le campanile fut transféré en juillet 1869 sur le clocher de l’église, celle-ci ayant perdu son campanile lors du séisme de 1708. Très ouvragé, de forme sphéroïdale, riche en entrelacs serrés et compliqués, il est couronné d’un haut fleuron avec boule surmontée d’une croix; sa partie supérieure, vue de bas en haut, dessine une rosace sur le ciel.
EN The square tower-tower is surmounted by an elegant bell-tower of ironwork, one of the oldest and most beautiful of Provence. This masterpiece, mounted and assembled without any welding, was made in 1725 by a valensole blacksmith, Guillaume Bounard, a native of Rians, for the clock tower formerly located on this Place Saint-Sauveur. Following the demolition of this tower in 1862, the bell tower was transferred in July 1869 to the bell tower of the church, which had lost its bell tower during the 1708 earthquake. It was highly worked, spheroidal in shape, rich in interlacing Tight and complicated, it is crowned with a high fleuron with ball surmounted by a cross; Its upper part, seen from bottom to top, draws a rosette on the sky.
