Saint-Maximin: the basilica and the Sainte-Baume
Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume is known for its Gothic basilica, the largest in Provence, and the former royal convent, now a hotel. Pilgrims come here and to the cave of Mary Magdalene in the nearby Sainte-Baume massif. The town is also a gateway to the inland Var.
The route follows the A52 and the A8 to the Saint-Maximin exit, tolls included. For the Hôtellerie de la Sainte-Baume, the road continues through Nans-les-Pins.
Can you drop me at the royal convent hotel?
Yes, it adjoins the basilica in the town centre, with drop-off at the entrance.
The basilica of Saint-Maximin, the largest Gothic building in Provence, holds the relics attributed to Mary Magdalene; the neighbouring royal convent is now a hotel. The town is also the start of the road to the Sainte-Baume massif and its ancient state forest.
The Sainte-Baume pilgrimage
According to tradition, Mary Magdalene spent her last years in a cave on the cliff of the Sainte-Baume, still a place of pilgrimage. A path through the ancient beech forest leads up to it from the hostelry in about an hour. The basilica in town, with its great organ and its crypt, completes the visit, and the town is a convenient stop on the way to the Verdon.
