About

The history of the site is linked to a statue of the virgin made around the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.

During the wars of religion, the Protestants sacked the region and the statue was hidden in the swamps. Forgotten for half a century, it was rediscovered by a shepherd, alerted by the somewhat bizarre actions of one of his oxen, who refused to move when tasked with dragging the statue to the nearby chapel Notre-Dame-de-Buglos.

As a result, an improvised altar (the current Chapel of Miracles) was built. It has became a place of pilgrimage, and over 60 miracles are said to have taken place so far, hence its name. The miraculous fountain, about 300 meters from the chapel via a wooded avenue, is also said to cure intestinal problems.
