The Tour Randonne was built around 1280 by the Baroness de Montauban. On a rock overlooking Nyons, this building with medieval architecture served as the castle's keep and military prison. The tower was bought by Abbot Francou and converted into a chapel.

The Tour Randonne was built around 1280 by the Baroness of Montauban. On a rock overlooking Nyons, this building of medieval architecture served as a keep and military prison for the castle. Bought by Father Francou, the tower was converted into a chapel. A 3.50m statue of the Virgin was erected at the top of a three-storey pyramid of four-sided arcades. The building, renamed “Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours”, was inaugurated in 1863 by the Bishop of Valence in front of 15,000 people.
Every August 15, the Tour Randonne is honored during a big party retracing the origins of the monument, the places, the facts, the men and the events that have marked the history of the city.

Visible from afar, this chapel with its pretty tower towers over the old town of Nyons. Through the portal shaded by linden trees one can catch a glimpse of the altar richly decorated with gold. Whether it is also possible to enter and marvel at the altar up close was not clear.
