Just like the pilgrims of Saint John the Baptist who follow this trail every year in June, you will reach the Saint-Jean du Désert chapel located on the old road between Entrevaux and Castellane. This chapel is likely to have been built by the Knights Templar to offer hospitality to travelers and to help them find their way
