The Notre-Dame-de-Vie hermitage was built in the 18th century and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, like many other hermitages in the region. Located in the Albères massif, it was restored by the association for the protection of hermitages in Argelès. Declared a protected site since 1944, the hermitage is surrounded by Mediterranean oaks and maples, and has an adjoining chapel dedicated to Saint Jerome, restored between 2017 and 2018. The hermitage is also linked to Saint Magdalene, considered the protector of the site, who, according to tradition, ended her life in spiritual retreat in Provence. Devotion to Mary Magdalene is documented in the region since the 17th century.

The Abbey of St André is an old Benedictine abbey founded by a Spanish monk in the 8th century. Until the 10th century it was a wealthy community thanks to a Count of Roussillon. The complex was destroyed in 1109 but was immediately restored afterwards. In 1151 great damage was caused by the war between Gaufred III. and his son Ginard II, the last Count of Roussillon. The Abbey of St. André suffered from this war, which limited its expansion. It fell into disrepair in the 13th century. Attached to Ste Marie d'Arles from 1592, it remained until the French Revolution. After that the abbey fell into complete disrepair. Today only the abbey church remains.
