Ermitage Saint-Quinis à Camps-la-Source, Medieval hermitage in Camps-la-Source, France

The Saint-Quinis hermitage stands on a rocky peak with stone buildings, including a chapel and former monastery structures from different construction periods.

The initial chapel was built in the 6th century, destroyed during the Wars of Religion, then reconstructed in 1634 with monastery additions in 1646.

The hermitage holds religious relics of Saint Quinidius, including his jawbone, preserved in the parish church of Camps-la-Source since 1639.

Access requires a 3-kilometer hike from Sainte-Anastasie elementary school parking lot, following yellow trail markers with a 300-meter elevation gain.

Three separate oratories dedicated to Saint Quinidius mark the pilgrimage path between Camps-la-Source and Besse-sur-Issole.
