A strange geological phenomenon

A place of legend
La Roquebrusanne: (1km, 10 minutes on foot)
(source http://www.la-roquebrussanne.fr/)

In the heart of green Provence, Sainte-Baume, Brignoles.
The village of La Roquebrussanne, which stretches nonchalantly between the hills, has kept its original character. The old plane trees open the way to the Place de la Loube which owes its name to the summit culminating at 836 meters. discover the Church of Saint-Sauveur, dating from the 15th century, with holy water fonts from the 16th century. Its acoustics can be appreciated during the concerts that are given there regularly. Some say that our church is an outline of the basilica of Saint-Maximin.
Nearby, an old oil mill whose structure has been preserved but which is now a place dedicated to our artists and craftsmen. From February to December, you will find a permanent exhibition of paintings and local products. Various events follow one another throughout the year.

In the heart of the village stands the clock tower. An inscription gives the date of its construction: 1616. To access the mechanism, you have to climb 60 freestone steps. 170 to 180 turns of the crank are necessary to reassemble the mechanism. The campanile which surmounts it shelters a bell decorated with three cherubs, installed in 1669.

Stroll through the old streets, admire the old doors and the houses whose renovated facades reveal unexpected architectural details, discover a very old house in need of renovation but full of charm, stop at rue de la Latte to listen to the Issole flow and rest before setting off to explore the surroundings.

Your first goal could be the Notre Dame d'Inspiration chapel, which you reach by following a medieval calade. Oratories have been built all along this path which many pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela have taken. The chapel, which contains an interesting collection of ex-votos, is located at the top of a hill, where a castrum was built and then the feudal castle, of which some walls can still be seen. An open-air amphitheater dominates the plain and it is from this point that the priest still blesses the land today during the traditional pilgrimage on September 8th.
