Meeting the Knights Templar Hospitallers
The Chemin des Chapelles in Pays Ventoux

Chemin des chapelles – route 2

Between vineyards and olive groves, discover the hidden and preserved chapels of our Vaison Ventoux Provence region.

At the time of the crusade to deliver Christ’s tomb in Jerusalem, Templar and Hospitaller commanderies developed in Provence to ensure the transfer of provisions needed in times of war. Thus, in Roaix, Buisson and Rasteau, numerous estates were created at this time.

Come and meet Knights Templar Hospitaller

Along this chapel trail, you’ll discover the panorama that the Knights Templar Hospitallers must have admired during their hard work. From the land, the scenery is varied, from the Dentelles de Montmirail to Mont Ventoux, from pine and holm oak forests to vineyards…

The route is enriched by the unveiled history of the chapels, testimony to the Christian religion defended by the Hospitaller Templars. Along the way, you’ll pass through Provencal villages and visit the Chapelle Saint Pierre, the Chapelle Notre-Dame d’Argelier, the Chapelle Notre Dame des Vignerons and the Chapelle Saint-Didier.

Three loops are available to discover the history of the Knights Templar Hospitallers. To view the route and get the GPX map on your smartphone, click on the links below.
