Read moreThe 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.
