The Sainte-Victoire Mountain, a symbol of Provence

The Sainte-Victoire mountain is above all a religious heritage with the Sainte-Victoire priory, a monastery built by monks in the 17th century. The priory is accessible only on foot. It is necessary to inquire about the opening of the refuge before going up. You can also discover the small chapel Saint-Ser on the side of the mountain.
Hiking and sports on the Sainte Victoire Mountain
The south face of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain, with its steep relief, is the ideal playground for climbing and paragliding enthusiasts.
Numerous paths and marked trails are also available for mountain bikers and hikers. There is something for all levels, from beginners to advanced. The mistral wind can be powerful in the mountains, so don’t neglect the weather forecast before going on a mountain hike.
The North face of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain presents softer reliefs and thus more accessible to the less sporty.
