Listed by Enlart (1902) as a 14th century font with a round basin [NB: Enlart has "Les Vignaux"]. Baptismal font listed in Palissy [ref.: PM05000361], which gives the church as "Les Vigneaux ; église paroissiale de l'Annonciation": "Fonts baptismaux [...] Cuve : pierre sculptée ; couvercle : bois sculpté [...] Cuve du 15e siècle ; couvercle du 19e siècle [...] Cuve : tresse, fleurs, arcades [...] H = 87 ; d = 95". Illustrated in Mémoire [ref.: AP05W00921, APMH00029780]. The entry for this church in the Pays des Écrins web site [https://www.paysdesecrins.com/decouvrir/incontournables-dans-le-massif-des-ecrins/musees-et-patrimoines/eglises-et-chapelles] [accessed 8 March 2025] notes the location of the baptismal font inside the church: "Les fonts baptismaux se trouvent au fond de l'église." A recent [2012] photograph of the exterior of this church shows what appears to be a stone baptismal font in the south porch of the church, a roughly hemispherical basin on a quadrangular base, both totally plain; we have no confirmation but it could perhaps be the font of the original medieval church here or one brought from a nearby location [cf.
