Sainte-Victoire Priory

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Croix de Provence

Highlight • Summit

The panorama! on the blue route is unique! The path is mostly stony and rocky, so hiking boots and hiking poles for those with knee problems are recommended. Only the last few meters at the summit cross are difficult. Also take enough water with you, there are no supplies on the way. At the beginning of the Bimont dam there is a fountain with drinking water.
