Trémaïe

Trémaïe is a religious monument in Les Baux-de-Provence situated at the base of a limestone cliff with traditional Provençal stone walls. The modest structure features a simple bell tower and sits within a rocky landscape shaped by natural geological formations.

The chapel was constructed in the 19th century as a place dedicated to Mary Magdalene and religious devotion. It gradually became a central site for local Christian practice and community worship in the region.

The site held significance as a pilgrimage destination linked to local religious practices and spiritual traditions. People traveled here to honor Mary Magdalene and seek spiritual connection in the mountain landscape.

The site is accessible via a marked hiking trail starting from the D27A parking area. The path requires moderate walking ability due to rocky terrain and gentle elevation changes along the way.

The chapel area attracts unusual bird species in winter months, including the Wallcreeper and Blue Rock Thrush among its rocky surroundings. These visitors from higher elevations make the site interesting for those who notice the seasonal wildlife patterns.
