imposing and beautiful basilica in the old town, the largest Gothic building in Provence which houses the relics of Mary Magdalene ...

Beautiful basilique with lots of history. If you get a chance to go with a guide, I would recommend that! And don’t forget to check out the gift shop to participate in the renovation fundraising (they sell religious items but also local honey and other things, and you can pay by card). We were lucky to visit it with a friend who had done a guided tour on the journées du patrimoine and explained a lot of the history like how it was almost robbed at the revolution and that’s why a lot of the stained glass is gone but the organ player started playing the national anthem and pushed the invaders away. The story of Sainte Marie Madeleine is beautiful too, and so much more!

Another fantastically beautiful and Grand cathedral.

Wonderful place well preserved, which dates back to the beginning of Christianity The abside is really spectacular The 2000-years old crypt contains the remains of our Saint Sister Marie-Madelaine, which seems unbelievable One downside : large groups of people just stay packed inside the crypt for long periods of time, preventing other persons from accessing the tombs

Beautiful basilica with a crypt that holds the skull of Mary Magdalene, very much worth the visit if in the area!

A dream come true! I also visited her cave and her chapel in La Cadière-d’Azur 🇫🇷❤️

I had a great time visiting the Basilica. Recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Great local shops all around as well. 💖✨️

A great free stop, which we’ve used previously. Easy motorway access, resident pizza van on-site. Pizza to be recommended €12 for a large, which feeds the both of us. Delicious locally produced wine from the vineyard compliments the pizza! No other services present but if you are prepared and can manage off grid, it’s a great stop. We did walk into the town about 8pm but everything was closed. However the Christmas decorations were very pretty

Excellent wines from the heart of Provence

Super.

So we highly recommend this little restaurant! (Original) En tant que chauffeur de mon groupe de 50 personnes, je me fait le porte parole de l’ensemble du groupe en vous indiquant que le déjeuner y était excellent.

So helpful! I missed my bus to Marseille airport & they helped me with alternative transport with BlaBlaCar. Unfortunately the driver was 2 hours late and I was stressed I was going to miss my flight ( out of the tourist centre’s control as it is a different company). I went back to see them and the young girl (sorry I forgotten her name) was super sweet and so helpful. She called a taxi for a different taxi for me and helped to get a book and took me to the stop. Thank you so much for helping me. Note to travellers. Don’t miss your bus from st maximin to marseille airport. The taxi will cost you the same as a flight or more!

Thank you for help with dentist. Ewerything is now ok. Best regards Lars Adolfsson

(Translated by Google) On a weekend in the Var, we visited the Deffends estate. The site is magnificent. The owners took the time to show us around the estate and the cellar.

(Translated by Google) We stayed here overnight in our motorhome and received a very warm welcome, even in German. The slightly sloping pitch is right next to the vineyards. The view of the snow-capped Alps in the distance is magnificent. We had a peaceful night. We haven't tried the two bottles of organic wine yet. If we're in the area, we'll definitely visit the winery again. (Original) Wir haben hier mit dem Wohnmobil übernachtet und wurden, sogar auf Deutsch, super nett empfangen. Leicht geneigter Stellplatz direkt an den Weinfeldern. Die Aussicht auf die in der Ferne liegenden schneebedeckten Alpen ist grandios. Wir hatten eine ruhige Nacht. Die zwei Flaschen Bio Wein haben wir noch nicht probiert. Wenn wir in der Gegend sind, werden wir das Weingut bestimmt wieder ansteuern.
