Notre-Dame de Beauregard d'Orgon, Medieval chapel on hilltop in Orgon, France.

The Notre-Dame de Beauregard chapel stands on a hill south of Orgon village, providing views across the Durance valley and national routes.

The fortress area surrounding the chapel was dismantled in 1483 under King Louis XI orders and underwent multiple restorations until Cardinal Richelieu ordered its final destruction in 1630.

The wooden statue of Virgin Mary and infant Jesus from the 14th century survived a 100-meter fall without significant damage, leading to numerous religious pilgrimages.

Visitors can access the chapel through a 2-kilometer marked trail starting near the village arena, passing through historical sites and ancient oratories.

Between 1638 and 1660, the Augustinian monks established a monastery at the chapel site, which remained active until the French Revolution in 1789.
