imposing and beautiful basilica in the old town, the largest Gothic building in Provence which houses the relics of Mary Magdalene ...

This church was a real discovery worth a detour. Mary Magdalens skull on display.

A hidden gem. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but this basilique is among the best in France. Incredible architecture, powerful organ, and beautiful art. The crypt of Mary Magdalene is beneath the church and there is an entrance accessible from inside

Beautiful basilique with lots of history. If you get a chance to go with a guide, I would recommend that! And don’t forget to check out the gift shop to participate in the renovation fundraising (they sell religious items but also local honey and other things, and you can pay by card). We were lucky to visit it with a friend who had done a guided tour on the journées du patrimoine and explained a lot of the history like how it was almost robbed at the revolution and that’s why a lot of the stained glass is gone but the organ player started playing the national anthem and pushed the invaders away. The story of Sainte Marie Madeleine is beautiful too, and so much more!

Wonderful place well preserved, which dates back to the beginning of Christianity The abside is really spectacular The 2000-years old crypt contains the remains of our Saint Sister Marie-Madelaine, which seems unbelievable One downside : large groups of people just stay packed inside the crypt for long periods of time, preventing other persons from accessing the tombs

A dream come true! I also visited her cave and her chapel in La Cadière-d’Azur 🇫🇷❤️

Great place to visit, the third tomb of Christianity after Jerusalem and Rome.

Another fantastically beautiful and Grand cathedral.
