FR En remontant la rivière Buëch à partir de Sisteron, le premier village que l'on rencontre après Laragne est Eyguians. Sur la rive opposée sont campées les maisons de Saléon ; au bord du plateau qui domine la rivière se trouve l'église isolée de Saint-Antoine.

Cette église détruite lors des guerres de religion, fut rebâtie entre 1687 et 1694 dans de plus grandes dimensions. Elle servit à abriter les anciens protestants redevenus catholiques après la révocation de l'Edit de Nantes.

Description architecturale
Nef et abside. Clocher en bâtière.
Construction fin XVII° en lauzes et galets. Deux portails plein cintre et chaînes d'angle en schiste gris taillé.
