In our opinion, the path there is very difficult and by no means easy. You need to be a good walker. Not recommended for dogs. We were lucky that we were able to carry our dog.

Many churches in France, including this chapel, are dedicated to the Virgin Mary under the widely used title "Notre-Dame" (in German: "Our Dear Lady"). A brief reflection on the Mother of God from Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I): "Mary is truly our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She lived a life very similar to ours. It is, of course, beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately from original sin and assumed into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms, and cooking pots..." Visitors to this small but highly prominent Marian shrine can decide for themselves which "Notre-Dame" they wish to venerate here.

A pleasant hike in a karst landscape (for the initiated) but also imbued with a certain magic. The loop from the center of the village took us about two with a picnic among the rocks, in a place once planted with cherry trees and other fruit trees. Note the presence of an original sundial... in perfect working order! The sinkhole, at the beginning of the trail, is hardly visible because it is overgrown with vegetation. But the ruins of the castle for their part allow for beautiful photos. The trail is quite shaded regardless of the season, we did it in 28 degrees without any discomfort (but we are from the South!). However, be sure to wear proper footwear because the route is very stony!

Avoid doing the sea of rocks the day after rain, it is dangerously slippery and spoils a lot of the fun.

A 40m deep and 90m circumference sinkhole is an attraction in the Sauve area, for tourists and also for potholers. I was able to go down there several times. Be careful, there is no barrier! Watch where you put your feet, children and animals! At the bottom is a cave that is not very big, with two parts. First lower part, which overlooks a well, then where you have to crawl quite a bit to end up on "nothing". On the other side, you fall quite quickly above a LAKE, with a height of about 15m. The water from this LAKE flows into the Sauve resurgence, located at the bottom of the village, after the stone bridge, towards the children's park. This one spits with all its power during the rains.
