Due to the very steep climb, once the cave is passed, over rocks with places where even steel handrails had to be placed, this walk cannot be classified as “easy for every walker”.

The site of the balm (cave) has been occupied by humans since the Paleolithic era. Later, around the 7th century, a hermit (Saint Vérédème) settled here. Having performed several miracles, the place then became a place of pilgrimage and a chapel now stands at the entrance of the cave.
