According to Provençale tradition, after the death of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and several companions are expelled from the Holy Land and arrive in France near Arles, a place called Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (Saints Mary of the Sea). She arrives in France in a broken-down little boat with Lazarus, Maximin, Martha, and their servant Sara. From there she...
1. Mary Magdalene’s tomb in Basilique de Sainte Marie-Madeleine
The outside of the Basilica is not much to look at, which is why it is even more surprising to find what is inside. Signs at the Basilica indicate that after her death the crypt was guarded by disciples of Saint Cassien. In the 8th century, the Saracens invaded this area from North Africa and Spain, and the crypt had to be buried to be protected. In the 12th century, Charles II of Anjoubegan to search for the relics of Mary Madeleine and discovers an early Christian tomb, the current crypt, c...
2. The Grotto in Saint Baume
After visiting the Basilica, you can also visit the grotto where Mary Magdalene is believed to have spent her last years. However, the grotto is not actually in the town of Saint-Maximin but in a protected regional park about 16km (10 miles away). The grotto is a place of pilgrimage, having been a holy site of importance since Saint Louis IX visited the cave in 1254. As with the Basilica, it was also ransacked during the French Revolution of 1789 but restored to the Dominican order in the 180...
3. Wander around town
After visiting the Basilica, you may want to walk around the town of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume to feel the town’s atmosphere. It may not be one of the more famous towns of Provence, but it still has a cute town square and plenty of charm. There are also several lovely restaurants there if you wish to stop for lunch. You can read more about local foods and drinks to try in Provencehere.
The town is only accessible by car. The closest high-speed TGV train station is in Aix-en-Provenceand the airport is in Marseille. From Aix or Marseille, it is around a 1-hour drive into town.
Saint-Maximin is an easy day trip from nearby Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, or Avignon. If you intend to go to the grotto, you may wish to spend the evening in Saint-Maximin, as you may not be keen to drive back to your accommodation after a big day out.
If you do decide to stay overnight, I highly recommend staying at Hotel le Couvent Royal. It is a convent that directly adjoins the Basilica and is almost as old. Today it is a hotel that you can stay in, for very reasonable rates. Will you be putting Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume on your list on your next holiday in Provence? If you enjoyed this a...
