The Calès caves are located at the eastern end of the Alpilles massif. This site was once a habitat which was occupied from prehistoric times until the 15th century. They are spread over several levels of the cliff, troglodyte habitats dug by man and a virgin and child which overlooks the site. The statue was erected in 1866 by the Marquis de Panisse-Passis on the site of the keep.
