Chapelle Notre-Dame du Mai

The chapel stands at 350 meters above sea level, featuring four large wall paintings in the choir executed by painter Jacobs in the early 20th century.

Built in 1625, the Notre-Dame du Mai chapel contains 75 ex-votos catalogued in 2000, documenting centuries of maritime religious traditions in Provence.

Each May, local residents gather for daily religious services, including rosary at 3 PM and mass at 4 PM, maintaining regional Catholic practices.

Visitors can reach the chapel by car or bus to the parking area, followed by a one-kilometer uphill walk on a steep pedestrian path.

The orientation tables at the chapel enable identification of landmarks from the Maures massif to Cassis creeks and the Giens peninsula.
