East of Nyons, the small village of Sainte-Jalle probably contains one of the finest Romanesque churches in Drôme. Built in the 12th century, the Church of Our Lady of Beauvert (Notre-Dame-de-Beauvert) is the last remnant of the old Clunisian priory belonging to the diocese of Sisteron. The presence of a reused fragment in one of the building's pilasters shows that another church used to stand on this very spot, in Carolingian times.
The tympanum of the church's porch is undoubtedly the most interesting part of this historic monument. Various carved elements can be seen there including a figure with an owl, a viola player, a pilgrim or shepherd, as well as a cockerel.
