Chapelle Sainte-Croix d'Auriol, Medieval chapel in Auriol, France.
The Sainte-Croix Chapel stands on a hill at 366 meters elevation, providing circular views of the Garlaban and Sainte-Baume mountain ranges.
The municipal archives mention the chapel's construction in 1554, with a document confirming the sale of four wheat loads to finance the building work.
This chapel serves as a traditional place of meditation for Auriol residents, reached by a path lined with oratories forming an ancient Way of the Cross.
Visitors can reach the chapel through a 1.27-kilometer hike from the dirt parking lot, with an elevation gain of 66 meters.
The 2015 restoration highlighted a large wooden cross, visible from neighboring municipalities.
