Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume is a town in the Var, in the Provençal hinterland. Its old town and basilica give it historic character, as a stop between the landscapes of Provence Verte and the hills of the Sainte-Baume massif. Local life centres on the streets and squares, while the surrounding area alternates between villages, wooded hills and rural estates. La Bastide du Cauron is set in this countryside, away from the bustle of the centre.

The Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Basilica, a remarkable Gothic building associated with the pilgrimage of Mary Magdalene, is 3.7 km away. The Musée des Gueules Rouges, dedicated to the history of bauxite mining in the area, is 3.4 km away. The remains of La Celle Abbey and the Palais des Comtes de Provence are among the heritage sites you can visit nearby. The neighbouring village of Tourves offers another stop for exploring the towns and villages of the area. Toulon-Hyères Airport is 42 km away; free private parking is available at the guest house.

For a day in the area, you can start by visiting the basilica and walking through the old streets of Saint-Maximin, then spend the afternoon at a museum or in a nearby village. Walkers can explore the landscapes of the Sainte-Baume massif and its hiking trails. The warmer months are suited to swimming in the pool and outdoor activities; in spring and autumn, milder temperatures are ideal for heritage visits and walks. A car makes it easier to travel between the different sites in this Provençal region.
