This grotto is a spiritually significant place. A narrow, uneven path leads there with many wrong turns. Coming from Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, you have to follow the "dark green line" marking. Be careful when entering the grotto: you definitely need a flashlight, the sloping path is very slippery.

The path is a bit difficult, with fallen trees. You can easily lose track. The descent into the cave is a bit slippery, so be careful 😄

Mary Magdalene meditated in this cave.

The easiest way to get there is from the Hostellerie de la Sainte-Baume.

You can also leave from
Parking Est - Les trois chênes de Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume
and then via Grotte Sanctuaire de la Sainte-Baume.
