Secret Provence on Mary Magdalene's Path

  • During this trip, I want you to discover authentic Provence off the beaten path. We'll start the day by taking a real journey back in time.
  • After the death of Jesus, Mary Magdalene moved to Provence and spent her last 33 years in the grotto in the Sainte-Baume massif. The place is very inspiring.
  • To fully immerse yourself in this spiritual atmosphere, I suggest hiking there on your own and taking your time for a more intimate experience along the 45-minute trail. Of course, if you prefer, I can accompany you.
  • Then we'll reach Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, a small, colourful Provençal town, where you'll have free time for shopping, lunch, and a visit to the Basilica of Mary Magdalene, where her skull is preserved.
  • We'll finish the day by the beautiful Sainte-Victoire massif and fields, where you can enjoy a nice walk in a little hilltop village or through the wine valley.
  • So if you feel the calling, or you simply want to discover the secret places of Provence on Mary Magdalene's path, don't hesitate to book this trip!
