3 days in Drôme Provençale (Part 12)
What a pleasure it is to slip through these small lanes lined with rough stone, where every step feels like stepping back in time. The slope grows steeper as you climb toward the heights. Up there, the Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours Chapel appears, perched like a gentle landmark overlooking the town.
This small chapel, modest yet full of charm, carries centuries of local devotion. You can feel the history, the whispered prayers, the many generations who came seeking protection or simply a quiet moment. Facing the landscape, it watches over Nyons and offers a peaceful spot to pause, catch your breath, and enjoy the view.
Quel plaisir de se faufiler dans ces petites ruelles bordées de pierres brutes, où chaque pas semble remonter le temps. La pente se fait de moins et en moins douce, et l'on grimpe vers les hauteurs. Là-haut, la chapelle Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours apparaît, perchée comme un repère bienveillant au-dessus de la ville.
Cette petite chapelle, discrète mais pleine de charme, porte en elle des siècles de dévotion locale. On y sent l’histoire, les prières murmurées, les passages répétés de générations d’habitants venus chercher protection ou simplement trouver un moment de calme. Posée face au paysage, elle veille sur Nyons et offre un endroit paisible où s’arrêter, reprendre son souffle et profiter de la vue.
