Chapel of the century located at the top of the mount Saint-Maxime in Riez, offering a beautiful panoramic view.

At the top of this hill, the panoramic view is superb. From the top of its 637 m, Mount Saint-Maxime dominates three valleys as well as a part of the Verdon Regional Natural Park. A nice walk that will lead you to a 17th century chapel and a monastery that welcomes the sisters of the Sainte-Claire fraternity. Every year, on the Tuesday following Pentecost, an event takes place, inviting all the people of Riézois to a moment of sharing around Saint-Maxime.

Belle petite promenade qui part du vieux centre de Riez et qui monte en serpentant jusqu'au mont Saint Maxime. Tout au long du trajet, des panneaux explicatifs sur les oliviers et l'huile d'olive. Au sommet, belle place ombragée entourée de grands pins qui abrite la chapelle Saint Maxime ainsi que le couvent des soeurs clarisses qui y vivent au calme.
Belle vue sur Riez et la vallée.
Si on continue un peu plus loin après la chapelle, on rejoint un chemin qui traverse des champs de lavande, superbe en été avant qu'elle ne soit coupée.

Au bout d'une petite route serpentine, qui, de ruelles en faubourgs sort du village et grimpe sur la hauteur qui le domine, une grande place entourée de conifères majestueux, une chapelle et une abbaye où vivent encore des sœurs.
Une atmosphère paisible, tantôt recueillie, tantôt égayée par les joueurs de pétanque, et une vue imprenable sur le village de Riez, qui nous éclaire sur sa dynamique et son histoire, de la conquête Romaine à aujourd'hui.
Un espace à découvrir et à respecter.
