L'Eglise Notre Dame de la Mar

Reviewed By KateJourney - Exeter, Canada

Having friends who venerate the Marys and Saint Sara, this location was a must visit during my time in the South of France. Situated beautifully in the Carmargue (Rhone River Delta) on the shores of the mighty Mediterranean, this village is a wonder to see. The church itself is small and relatively plain, but holds the reliquary remains of Mary Jacobe and Mary Salome and it's crypt honors Saint Sara. No matter whether you believe the stories about who else may have landed here to bring the works of Jesus to France, this is an authentic stop where you may meet real Gitan (who will follow you until you accept a blessing for a Euro or two) and immerse yourself in the history and mystery of this area.

Eglise Saint-Jean-de-Malte

Reviewed By on_the_go_98765

Our tour group brought us here early in our day's excursion. Not long into the look-see, we felt a compulsion to come back. Shake the group, come and explore ... that was the message we felt. And so we did. Established in about the 1270's (13th century), this was the first Gothic Roman Catholic church in Aix. It wore several hats in its history, one of which was to serve as a hospice and chapel to the Knights Hospittalier who gave aid to pilgrims. During the French Revolution, nary a church was spared and this church was ransacked, plundered, and reduced to becoming a military storage facility. All the art went off to the chopping block, so to speak. In the 1800's (post-revolution, it was restored. Art was acquired and the majority of paintings which date to the 1600 and 1700's found their homes here. Apostolic monks are the order monitoring this church. The whisper in our ears suggesting we come back seem to lead to the faded 13th century frescoes behind screens. We took a peek. Persecuted Jesus endured flaggelation and the pain was still palpable. As we silently made our rounds, we saw an interesting and very contemporary painting of what looked to us to be the Familia Sagrada construction in Barcelona. The artwork assembled was of such an excellent quality. This is a place best appreciated without timelines, pressure, or crowds. It is a very personal experience and the visitor needs time to appreciate the treasures within. As an aside, we notice the Knights Templar styled cross outside in the fountain on the church top. The Crusades took place from 1095 to 1291 and this church, established in the 1270's, would have been contemporaneous. Do stop in and spend some time absorbing the art and the frescoes. Listen to the whispers.
