FR En 1642, un diminicain crut voir, au sommet de cette colline, une chapelle. Il se rendit compte que ce n'était qu'un rocher. Il vit dans sa méprise un signe et fit édifier là un sanctuaire à la Vierge. De nombreuses guérisons miraculeuses s'y produisirent ensuite et ce sanctuaire devint un lieu de pèlerinage fréquenté. Le rocher servit de chevet à la chapelle et porta la cloche de 1779, provenant de l'ancien hôpital de Barjols. Monument Historique depuis 1981. Une légende locale raconte que Jésus et Marie auraient laissé deux empreintes de pieds dans un rocher situé en contrebas de la chapelle, près de l'éperon rocheux donnant accès au panorama sur le village et le massif des Besslllons.
EN In 1642, a diminicain thought he saw a chapel on the top of this hill. He realized that it was only a rock. He saw in his misunderstanding a sign and had a sanctuary built there for the Virgin Mary. Many miraculous healings followed and this sanctuary became a popular place of pilgrimage. The rock served as the bedside of the chapel and carried the 1779 bell from the former Barjols hospital. Historical Monument since 1981. A local legend tells that Jesus and Mary left two footprints in a rock below the chapel, near the rocky spur giving access to the view of the village and the Bessllons massif.
