The former French Catholic diocese of Senez existed from around the fifth or sixth century, until the
French Revolution. Its see was at
Senez, in southern France, in the modern department of
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. After the
Concordat of 1801 the territory of the diocese was added to that of the
diocese of Digne.
History
Marcellus (Marcel), the first known bishop of Senez, attended the
Council of Agde in 506; nevertheless, Senez must have been an episcopal city as early as 439.
