Monastère de la Sainte-Baume

Set at 700 meters altitude, the monastery stands before a long rocky cliff and an ancient forest in the Provence region of France.

The Dominican order received responsibility for this pilgrimage site in the 13th century, although their presence faced several interruptions through the centuries.

The monastery houses a community of four sisters and eight Dominican brothers who maintain traditions of prayer, service, and pilgrimage hospitality.

The accommodation facility contains 180 beds, four rooms adapted for reduced mobility visitors, and a restaurant serving home-style meals.

The monastery continues its centuries-old mission of welcoming pilgrims who seek connection with the story of Mary Magdalene's refuge in this location.
