Follow in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene on this private full-day pilgrimage to Sainte-Baume, departing from Cannes in a luxury Mercedes van. After arriving in Provence, we’ll walk the sacred forest path leading to the grotto where Mary Magdalene lived her final years in solitude, prayer, and joyful penance. This peaceful, spiritual place has drawn pilgrims since the 5th century — from Saint Louis to Charles de Foucauld. Enjoy a unique moment of reflection and connection, followed by a simple yet meaningful lunch shared with the monks at the Dominican monastery. Optional stop at Saint-Maximin Basilica, home to Mary Magdalene’s relics.
We begin with a drive along the highway before enjoying a scenic route through the beautiful Provençal countryside. Our destination is La Sainte-Baume Hostellerie, nestled at the foot of the sacred mountain. On request: I can arrange a simple, traditional lunch with the monks of the Dominican monastery — a unique and peaceful experience shared with the religious community. From there, we begin the pilgrimage walk through the forest (approx. 45 minutes) following the traditional path taken by centuries of pilgrims to reach the Grotto of Mary Magdalene, where she is said to have lived in solitude and contemplation. Optional: For those seeking a deeper spiritual experience, we can continue the climb to the Saint Pilon Chapel, perched above the grotto, offering panoramic views and a moment of quiet reflection. After the visit, we descend the hill and return comfortably by car to Cannes or your accommodation.

Pick-up can be arranged in Cannes, Antibes, Nice, or within a 10-minute radius of these cities. If you could kindly provide a phone number (reachable via WhatsApp), that would be ideal for easy communication. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, as there will be some walking during the tour (1:30 minimum). Also, please let me know in advance if you require a baby seat or booster
