Ritual of wonder <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Going to the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel, or more simply “Monter au Mai” as we say in Provence, is not just a matter of religious belief. The chapel at the summit of Cap Sici\u00e9<\/a> is one of the locals’ favorite places for a stroll. And with good reason! When you arrive on the chapel’s forecourt, it’s not the bright yellow of its facade that will impress you most, but the 360\u00b0 view over the islands of Hy\u00e8res, the hills of the hinterland, the harbor of Toulon<\/a> and the creeks of Cassis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All roads lead to Mai<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the heart of Cap Sici\u00e9, a vast forest of kermes oaks, pines and eucalyptus, the Corniche merveilleuse road takes you by car to the aire des Mascs, close to the Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel. To reach the summit and the chapel, the last kilometer is a steep climb on foot. Make sure you’re properly equipped. To reach the chapel, you can also take the coastal path between Le Brusc<\/a> and Fabr\u00e9gas beach<\/a>, or one of the hiking trails from the Janas forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n

Our advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cistus, endemic Mediterranean species in mauve or white, grace the hillside, offering an intoxicating spectacle.Please note: the Corniche road leading to Notre-Dame-du-Mai is closed from June 15 to September 15. Before you come, check the conditions of access to the massif.LEARN MORE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

May pilgrimage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Notre-Dame-du-Mai chapel is unique in that it is located in both La Seyne-sur-Mer<\/a> and Six-Fours-les-Plages<\/a>. The explanation certainly lies in the fact that in 1625, when the building was constructed, the two communes and Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer<\/a> were one. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
