Culture

In addition to weekly church services, St. George's Anglican Church is home to a vibrant community and hosts wonderful events in the village of Vernet les Bains, France. Whether you join us for our Sunday service, to enjoy a concert or learn the art of Change Ringing on France's only ring of English bells, we look forward to welcoming you.

On the last Sunday of the month, we usually have a 'bring and share' lunch at the house of a member of the congregation. Please check the 'Services & Events' page for dates, and contact us for details if you'd like to come along. The church is also used for weddings, concerts and other services and functions.

History

St. George's is a friendly and welcoming Anglican, Christian community, based in the early 20th-century English church which sits near the Thermes and Casino. In 2013, the Church celebrated its 100th anniversary. One of the attenders at worship in the early days was Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria. The village, once known as 'the Paradise of the Pyrenees', is associated with Rudyard Kipling, who spent time here a century ago.

Today, the congregation consists largely of British residents of Vernet and the neighbouring towns and villages, but we are augmented by visitors and holiday-makers of many nationalities throughout the year. The church is also used for weddings, concerts and other services and functions.
