CHARLES MARTEL & CHARLEMAGNE
The Notre Dame de Bonpas chapel (a national historic monument) was built between 739 and 805. Though the first texts that mention the church of Sainte Marie de Bonpas date back to the reign of Charlemagne (805), it is possible that its construction is owed to Charles Martel (circa 739) to thank the people of Avignon for their bravery during battle with the Saracens.
