Of

Short but steep climb to the chapel with up to 16%. Very nice view over Durance

Just beautiful

Very good walk of about 2 hours quiet accessible to all.

Developed in 1794, Chappe telegraph towers were a means of visual communication by semaphore, over distances of several hundred kilometres. The Orgon tower is one of the 22 towers that have remained intact in France. This tower was part of a chain of towers which included the sector from Avignon to Toulon and communicated directly with Cavaillon on one side and Lamanon on the other.

A site not too busy given the panorama it offers!

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.
