The hill of Cairanne, a veritable sentinel overlooking the vineyards, invites you on an initiatory journey. After admiring the charming chapels of Saint-Geniès and Notre-Dame-de-la-vigne-et-du-rosaire, nestling in the heart of the vineyards, you begin a gradual ascent. Each step brings you closer to the summit, where a breathtaking panorama awaits you: the surrounding mountains and the vineyards of Cairanne and Rasteau stretch as far as the eye can see.
Along the way, you’ll discover a trail rich in history and culture. As you approach Rasteau, you’ll see explanatory panels created by the local winegrowers, revealing the secrets of their ancestral know-how. You’ll understand the hard work and passion behind every bottle.
This tour is a tribute to past generations who, in the face of hardship, found refuge and comfort in prayer. The chapels along the way bear witness to their faith and courage.
The scourge of the plague has been known in Provence since at least 1348, during the Popes’ stay in Avignon, and it never really died out until 1720, the year of the famous Marseille plague.
It resurfaced more or less violently, without us understanding why, and medicine had few means at its disposal at the time: these men and women truly experienced the evil, with these haunting questions… Why me? Who is responsible? What’s to be done?
