A truly splendid site overlooking Orgon! The site itself is charming and the view around is worth the detour! We see the Durance valley, the Ventoux, etc. Essential! Wikipedia:
"An old chapel would have been present on the site. The current chapel dates from the 19th century, by the will of the priest of Orgon, Canon Pierre Anselme Bonnard (from 1877 to 1899).
In 1592, an enclosure was erected to protect the site.
A monastery was built between 1638 and 1660. The Discalced Augustinians of Saint-Pierre d'Aix lived there until 17892.
Until 1854, the site was abandoned. Then the convent is restored. In 1878, work on the current chapel began.
The Gray Penitents of Avignon erect a cross in 1903.
In 1935 the Servite Brothers moved into the convent.
In 1958, the "Fraternity of the Little Sisters of Foucault" took possession of the premises, then in 1970 "the community of the Lion of Judas and the Immolated Lamb" which participated in its maintenance until 1982. In the absence of a caretaker , the basilica is looted and the monastery devastated.
In 1984, under the impetus of the Friends of Beauregard association, the site was again restored and maintained, allowing for the enhancement and development of cultural and tourist activities.
