10. TEMPLE OF APOLLO, RIEZ
The four Corinthian columns of the 1st-century-AD temple to Apollo, standing tall
and alone among fields just outside Riez on the Valensole plateau, are all that remain
of the once prosperous Roman settlement of Reia Apollinaris. Eight ancient pillars,
perhaps scavenged from another Roman building, are now in the early Christian
church nearby, which dates from the 4th-5th century BC and is one of the oldest sur-
viving churches in France.
