Our commitments

“At the origin of this sanctuary, a man whose history has retained only the initial of his first name, the letter P, and who will be called Peter. The humble patriarch is a prayerful and exploitative worker, aiming for nothing other than to build a chapel to be closer to heaven, to breathe the divine air, to work with his hands and reap the fruits. As a hermit, he puts into practice the motto of the monks of the West “ora et labora”: pray and work. He will no doubt also welcome people wishing to join his prayer. In any case, very quickly, pilgrimages will climb to the summit of this hill.

In keeping with the origins and history of the "Good Mother," Le Bon Air is a place of daily work. It showcases the talents of each woman and man who serves it. It is a welcoming space for pilgrims and visitors, preparing for or extending the peace and joy given here in prayer and meditation and fostered by the beauty of the setting. The restaurant's decor, noble and simple, is a dive into the history of the Basilica while raising awareness of the richness of our Mediterranean culture. By enjoying a convivial moment, alone, with family, or friends, you are also financially supporting this sanctuary, essential to so many people and a proud symbol of our city. The presence of Monastic Crafts is significant; it brings us closer to the monks and nuns, who carry our world through prayer. There is a lot of love in their fine products. So welcome! Come in, let yourself be welcomed and surprised! Leave with your body and heart nourished by beauty and kindness.
