    When you turn around, you discover this splendid view of Sainte-Baume. On your left, a large building. This is the former monastery of the Dominican fathers who continue to care for the site. On site, you will find a snack bar and toilets.

      The Cave of Sainte-Baume is a cave converted into a place of worship and a chapel (dedicated to Catholic worship) since the 5th century, located in the south of France.
      This cave of modest size (approx. 20 x 30 m) is said to have offered refuge to Saint Mary Magdalene in the last years of her life. From the 5th century, monks settled at the edge of the cave to welcome pilgrims, and the cave was converted into a place of worship. The sanctuary developed over the centuries, especially from the 13th century, at the initiative of the Counts of Provence and with the establishment of the Dominicans. The cave is a high place of Western Christianity and is visited by many popes and kings.

      Looted during the Wars of Religion and completely destroyed during the French Revolution, the place of worship was rebuilt in the 19th century, particularly at the instigation of Father Henri Lacordaire, who restored the Dominican monastery and the inn to accommodate pilgrims. is a cave converted into a place of worship and a chapel (dedicated to Catholic worship) since the 5th century, located in the south of France in the Sainte-Baume massif.
