Tips from the Community
An exceptional site due to its location. One thing intrigues me: how did the ancients build with stone at such heights? Even on the backs of mules, the task of climbing the 500m drop from the Tarn is gigantic. Other questions: how did they live there? Certainly no prayers.

Far away from all civilization, this hermitage was built on rocks.

The massive structure rising above the landscape at this location – with its round dome (although only the vaulting ribs of the roof dome were built, the actual roof covering was never completed) and the lantern erected above it – and crowned by a cross, doesn't seem to quite fit with the small sacred monument at its peak. User 'Cx' has already provided information in his post about the history of the building and the originally planned statue of the Madonna, which was supposed to bestow its blessing upon the land and its people from here.

A geological curiosity, nice to see. If you're not passing too far, it's worth a little detour.

A beautiful view of Le Rozier. We were even lucky enough to see vultures living their lives on a rocky outcrop from this spot.

From the nearby road, there's no sign that such a building is there. And yet, there is!
