religious site | LUNAS
At the gateway to the Haut Languedoc regional nature park, this Marian sanctuary nestled in a small, peaceful valley is steeped in history and mystery...
As you walk along the road to Nize, you will discover a preserved Romanesque and pre-Romanesque complex with a strong identity: the chapel dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin and its remarkable bell tower, the hermitage, the pilgrimage area and the singular 'Fontaine des Yeux'. This fountain is known for its spring water, which has been reputed for centuries to cure or relieve eye ailments.
A place of devotion for some, a popular belief for others, this spiritual, even enigmatic place does not leave anyone indifferent...
