An ideally located town
Visitors to Le Beausset can enjoy a whole range of beautiful landscapes:
From the backdrop of the Sainte Baume mountain range to the golf course of La Ciotat, with a view of the sea.
From the Ollioules gorges to the medieval villages of Le Castellet and La Cadière.
Through hillsides and wide valleys planted with olive trees.
Notre-Dame du Beausset-Vieux Romanesque chapel
History buffs will be delighted by the many relics that tell the story of Beausset-Vieux's eventful past. There's a 12th-century Romanesque chapel and a more ancient gallery displaying over 80 ex-votos in gratitude to Notre Dame du Beausset Vieux.
Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte stayed here
Many illustrious men stayed here: Louis XIV, Bonaparte... The sanctuary can be reached via the old mule track, lined with a series of oratories. After the abandonment of Le Beausset-Vieux in 1506, the community moved to the hilltop where today's Le Beausset is located.
