The cave, 950 metres above the Sainte-Baume massif, would have welcomed the disciple of Christ for the last thirty years of his life. It is therefore both a cave and a place of worship.

Many statues of Marie-Madeleine are logically inside, one of which is Carrara marble, the work of the famous sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon. A staircase leads to a source, named «Source of Saint-Sidoine», from the name of the blind young, healed from his blindness by Christ.

Un lieu de legende
La légende affirme que Marie Madeleine , après avoir fui la Palestine, s’est installé dans la grotte où elle aurait terminé sa vie
Une petite heure de marche en montée pour rejoindre les bâtiments et la grotte. Atmosphère empreinte de recueillement

Quelle récompense d'arriver à la Grotte de Marie-Madeleine ! Il faut compter 1 heure de grimpette sur la Sainte Baume, mais on est saisi par le lieu.
La grotte contient des reliques de la sainte et différents éléments sur sa vie. On peut visiter sur la gauche une cellule de pélerin.
Par beau temps, depuis la terrasse, le panorama est magnifique et très étendu.
Pour redescendre prendre le 2ème chemin proposé pour varier les plaisirs
Et en bas un petit réconfort à la Brasserie de la Terrasse pour finir la journée
