Chapel of the Hermitage of Notre-Dame de Mayran

just after St Victor la Coste we go through the vineyards, the abbey is on your left.

The chapel housing the Hermitage of Our Lady of Mayran is located on a former Roman villa. It was part of the Abbey of Saint Victor in Marseille and was built during the 12th century in the shape of a Latin cross. It was in the 19th century that a statue of the Virgin Mary was placed above the bell tower, a statue that has since been removed due to a risk of landslide (which also affected the entire building, which is now closed to the public).
Since the 17th century, a pilgrimage has been held every first Sunday in May to protect against plague and drought.
The small park remains open and invites you to take the time to sit on the benches provided and appreciate the peace and serenity of the place.
