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!
