So beautiful! I know the wedding will be magical in this place. I am reading a book right now on Mary Magdalene. I wish I could meet her and know her mind.

Breathtaking! Can’t wait to see your families filling the pews.

It’s breathtakingly beautiful. It reminds me of the wedding scene from The Sound of Music:

How wonderful, I fondly remember the day we visited this beautiful place together with your cousin, nieces and Aunt E. So pleased that this is the chosen place to celebrate Chelsea and Martin’s union. XX

237 years to complete the construction of the basilica. Construction stopped in 1532 without the front being totally done. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume)
So sad that in Europe a beautiful church like this exists, while here in Chicago they’re tearing down lovely old churches that have barely reached 100 years old. My 96 year old mother was devastated to hear that they tore down the beautiful church she and my dad were married in. Maybe if it took 200+ years to build they would cherish history a little more. -
WOW!

Corey is this the town – Saint Maximin- that you sent Barbara S and I to for a market? It was not far away from St. Zachire. After we did the market, we went to the church which was very close to the market.

i love this basilica. we spent a week in the hills at a gite near. my friend and i brought some american made clothes we bought at a discount store in Kansas City and planned to sell them at a vide grenier. we did! there was one outside the home improvement store next to the marche on Sunday morning. for 10 euro we rented a space and sold our stuff. i speak only limited spanish but my friend is french fluent. we got asked to go to a danse, had a mother remember her daughter that had moved to St Louis and one woman who asked us to come have dinner with her family. her husband spoke fair english, her shy daughter was learning it in school and she spoke italian and french. she fed us specialties of Provence, i learned to drink Pastis and we’ve been friends now for some 8 years! i grew up in California and love your photos and lovely tales of life.
