An Excep�onal Spiritual Journey in
France
By discovering five outstanding ancient Chris�an
sites, you will experience the other side of
France : a wonderful place to deepen and en-
large your spiritual roots.
Mary Magdalene arrived on the shores of the
French Mediterranean coasts right a3er the Ro-
man persecu�ons of the year 45. From the boat
debarked a group of friends united by the same
faith in Jesus whose divine dimension they had
just experienced a few years prior.
The seafarers, Mary Magdalene, Lazarus, Zac-
chaeus, Mary-Salome, Sara, and some others,
were forced to start a new life there : a life of
prayer, medita�on, tes�mony, mercy, and spiri-
tual friendship. By doing so, they transformed
the des�ny of that then Cel�c region of the
world called Gallia (Gaul), later known as
France. Even today, Mary-Magdalene’s spiritual
imprint is unqiue and a large number of pilgrims
s�ll pray to her or rely on her to enlarge their
understanding of God’s mysteries and to dee-
pen the conversion of their Heart.
With a touch of French gastronomy, the unique
atmosphere of some wonderful ancient sites,
and many friendly encounters, you will remem-
ber this journey as a true jewel for your soul.
