Heritage
Place and Chapel of the White Penitents
Located “intramuros” in the old village, it could probably be the medieval church of the old village.
From the small square just in front of the chapel, you can see the ancient road that served as a salt route during the Middle Ages. You can then look out over the Mont Chauve of Tourrette-Levens and the old fertile districts, such as le Frogier, la Gabre, la Moutta, la Rocca…
