Mary Magdalene Pilgrimages in Provence

Two Saint Mary Magdalene Pilgrimages are being offered for July 2020. We will stay in a lovely hotel in the town of St Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume (which houses the Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene) for the entire 6 nights, and follow the path of Saint Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection when she came to Provence (47AD) and ended up spending the last thirty years of her life up a mountain in a Cave called La Sainte Baume.
