Notre-Dame de Jouffe chapel in Montmirat
On the heights of Montmirat, overlooking the Courme valley, the chapel of Notre-Dame de Jouffe is the oldest sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the Gard.
An oppidum once stood on this site, before it became home to a Gallo-Roman population. It also bears witness to the influence of Cluny until the Wars of Religion.
The site is accessible via a signposted hiking trail.
