SAINT-MAXIMIN-LA-SAINTE-BAUME

Saint-Maximin is located in the heart of the Var department, between Aix-en-Provence and Nice, beneath the Sainte Baume massif, in the basin of a dried-up lake. It is equidistant from the foothills of the Alps and the sea coast.

This small town with a metropolitan flair offers all services and amenities, as well as direct access to the motorway, reaching Marseille airport in 45 minutes and Aix-en-Provence TGV station in 35 minutes.

Saint-Maximin-la- Sainte-Baume is famous for its Sainte-Madeleine Basilica, which dominates the town hall square.

The construction of the royal monastery, begun in the 13ᵉ century at the same time as the basilica, was completed in the 15ᵉ century.

In the narrow streets of the medieval quarter of Saint-Maximin, it is easy to forget time and space.

With its breathtaking nature, the massif of Sainte Baume offers a spectacular setting and a 360° view of the Alps and the sea at all seasons. Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume is located in the heart of the Green Provence, a beautiful hilly landscape with lovely, colourful villages, rivers and lakes. Beautiful stone cottages on the sunny hills bear witness to a preserved rural way of life... There are also characteristic farms, old farmhouses converted into charming guest houses, large vineyards and olive groves.
