We were staying with my husband and daughter in Aix en Provence. Our guide Romain came to our apartment with a superb Jaguar. He is the best tour guide we ever had: a perfect English, so knowledgeable and so kind.
First we went to the Grotto of Mary Magdalene. The walk is steep but the forest is beautiful and you can find some natural water springs on the way.
The Grotto is a magic place offering an amazing panorama over Provence.
We had lunch in Saint Maximin la Sainte Beaume at the “Couvent Royal”. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of this ancient convent unique.
We explore the small town and its church in the afternoon. We saw the relics of Mary Magdalene and could understand all her life thanks to Romain.
We definitely recommend the services of this company.

We had Mary Magdalene tour in June. We were on Celebrity docked in La Seyne. We took this tour with our small group, we were a group of 9.
Our guide Roman greeted us at the port. He had perfect knowledge about the history. We had an outstanding tour with him. I think this tour was the most unique part of our trip. Thanks a lot.

My daughter and myself were in Marseille for a few days and I was so curious about this history of the Saint Mary Magdalene.
Our guide Romain Bouchaud came at our hotel with a nice Jaguar sedan and drove us across the countryside to the begining of the path leading to the cave where Mary Magadalene spent the last 33 years of her life.
The path across the forest up the mountain is stip but not long. Consider about 45 min up and 20 min down.
Arriving by the cave was something extraordinary and the view overthere is incredible.
After the cave we went to the city of Saint Maximin where is the cathedral of Mary Magdalene and her tomb and relics in the crypt. It was so surprising to visit such a holy place without any body around.
A real off the beaten track tour and we learned a lot thanks to Romain.

I could never imagine that Mary Magdalene lived in Provence. I had a perfect day thanks to Aurelie. The walk to the monastery and the cave is not so easy but it is worth the effort. This place is magic and so spiritual.
