Nella regione del Var vi sono 4 luoghi potentissimi: la basilica di Maddalena a St Maximin, la grotta della Maddalena a La Ste Baume e la cappella di St Pilon dove si racconta che la Santa fu accolta in cielo dagli angeli. Questi tre luoghi sono a St Maximin la Ste Baume, mentre l’ultimo si trova a Vidauban e si tratta della cappella di Sainte-Brigitte sur le chemin de Compostelle (si racconta che Brigitte Bardot fu battezzata qui). Visiteremo la basilica di Brigitte al nostro rientro, non oggi, ma la segnalo comunque. Per visitare la grotta di Maddalena e di St Pilon è necessario un cammino di due ore e 30 andata e ritorno. Il reliquiario del suo teschio è invece nella basilica in paese, facilmente accessibile a tutti. Le vibrazioni di questi luoghi sono più larghe, toccano il cuore e la fronte, e danno sensazioni alle gambe e di forte espansione e calore. St Maximin basilica e reliquiario misurazione cripta oltre 18.000 unità bovis Fonte di Nans 23.000 ub La Ste Baume grotta 30.000 ub St Pilon cappella oltre i 30.000 ub non più misurabili con la mia tabella, fortissimi! Vale la pena salire sulla costa del monte per vedere il mare e sentire l’aria pulita qui. Da quassù le preghiere arrivano più in alto.grotte fermée. ascension jusqu à la chapelle, necessite tout de meme une bonne condition physique car enormement de marches à monter , heureusement tres ombragée.
