The Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, France, is an exquisite example of Gothic architecture notable for its impressive size and intricate details. Key for photo-travelers are its ornate façade and the striking gargoyles that can be best captured in the golden light of early morning or late afternoon. The basilica is famed for housing the relics of Mary Magdalene in the crypt, marked by a rich marble canopy—consider using low-light settings for capturing its mysterious ambiance. The interior features stunning stained-glass windows, adding vibrant color and reflections. The adjoining cloister offers a tranquil setting with beautifully preserved arches perfect for architectural photography.
