About this experience
A transformative journey through the South of France, following in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene and the first Christians when they arrived on the shores of the South of France fleeing Roman persecution. It is not only a historical route, but an experience of deep connection with the sacred, in landscapes that still bear the echo of the past and the first Nazarene traces in Europe. Visit the Basilica of Saintes Maries de la Mer, the crypt of Saint Maximin, as well as the grotto of Mary Magdalene in Sainte Baume, where the living memory of Mary Magdalene is honored. A pilgrimage in connection with the Soul, for those who seek meaning, silence and revelation in places that have witnessed the faith since ancient times. These destinations coincide with local pilgrimages celebrating the arrival of the "Holy Barca", creating an atmosphere of living devotion.
