La Sainte-Baume is a site with a chapel, cistern, vaulted hall and staircase in Lirac.
An ancient Neolithic cave, the current history of the Sainte Baume begins in 1647, Joseph Queyranne, an inhabitant of Lirac, would have found in this cave an image of the Virgin who cured him of the epilepsy from which he suffered. The archbishop then gave the order to build a chapel there and Joseph vowed to live in the cave. In 1712, the hermitage was enlarged and people came from all over the region to ask the Virgin for the healing of the sick. The hermitage consists of a chapel, a cistern, a vaulted room and stairs.
