As soon as you get closer, the simple but unusually designed facade catches the eye of the hiker: a bell hangs over the entrance to the chapel, and above it is not a crowning with a cross or a rooster, as is so often the case, but a statue of the Mother of God, who symbolizes this holding baby Jesus in her arms. Inside this small church, dedicated to Mary under the customary French title of "Notre Dame" (Our Lady), countless votive tablets on the side walls testify to thanksgiving left by the faithful.

Beautiful, well-kept pilgrims' chapel, which is always open. One can buy a candle and light it in front of the Blessed Virgin Mary in memory of a loved one.
From the chapel, the view over the picturesque town of Castellane is breathtaking.
