Fog at Sainte-Baume - 2025

Photographed just in front of the Hostellerie de la Sainte-Baume at 6AM, November 7, 2025.

The Hostellerie de la Sainte-Baume is a religious guesthouse run by Dominican friars located in Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume, France. It serves as a spiritual retreat and the primary base for pilgrims visiting the Grotto of Mary Magdalene, which is carved into the nearby cliffs. It is not a traditional hotel; it is a house of welcome focused on simplicity and spirituality. We stayed here with our crew before and after climbing up to the grotto.
