After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Sainte MARIA MADELEINE" is the woman most frequently mentioned in the writings of the New Testament. Originally called "Mary of Magdala" after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, the name "Mary Magdalene" that is common today has evolved over time. According to the biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. According to the testimony of the evangelists, Mary Magdalene is also one of the three women who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, wanted to anoint the body on Easter morning after the Sabbath rest, and the very first person who ever met the Risen Christ.

The Madeleine Church, built between 1691 and 1703 by Laurent Vallon, received its façade between 1855 and 1860, a monumental veneer by Revoil. Listed in 1988, the church contains numerous works by artists who lived in Aix, including the exceptional Altarpiece of the Annunciation (1444), currently visible in the Saint-Esprit Church (rue Espariat) during the restoration work on the building. It was here that Paul Cézanne was baptized in 1839, his parents married here in 1844 and his sister Rose married the lawyer Maxime Conil here in 1881.
