The former monastery and the associated refuge were reopened after renovation at the beginning of 2018. Up to 14 people can now seek shelter here and, if necessary, spend the night on wooden benches. There is also a fire pit, although you have to carry the wood up the mountain as all wood on the mountain is under the strictest protection.
The monastery was built in the 17th century and had four cells for the monks.

Good hiking ideas!
Before planning the exit, check if the massif is not closed due to fire risk. The Priory can also be closed. Both information can be found on the Friends of Sainte-Victoire website, as well as advice for using the shelter. For wood, it is best to use densified logs and firelighting blocks because there is no more dry wood along the trails! And green wood does not burn... No drinking water throughout the massif. Other information on the Grand Site Concors Sainte-Victoire website. Beware of high attendance on Saturdays and Sundays. Bus lines 110 and 140 allow you to do linear hikes without dropping off a car here and another there... It's simpler.
