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.
