With Bart Sharp

Enjoy a small, intimate tour in the heart of one of the world’s most powerfully spiritual places.

May 4th – 14th 2025 as well as May 25 – June 4th tours.

Friday, May 2nd fly out of USA for overnight travel.

Saturday, May 3rd  Arrive in the afternoon at Toulouse/Blagnac Airport, check into The Fast Hotel to rest from jet lag. 

***Do not arrive in Toulouse later than 8PM that day.

Day 1 (Sunday, May 4th)  

Pick up at the Fast Hotel from Toulouse around 10-10 30 AM. We will enjoy a two-hour drive to the Bugarach area in Southern France with a lunch break along the way if needed, in Limoux or Couiza. Then check into our rooms in Modern Boulangerie in Quillian and then back out for the first tour sites.

We take a quick 15 kilometer trip to the small town of Bugarach  for opening prayers, intentions and activations. We take a short walk to the outskirts of Bugarach to an area that is perceived to be the encampment where Mary Magdalene and the Essines lived (according to Clair Heartsong’s book “Voice Of The Magdalenes.”)

Day 2 (Monday, May 5th) 

Chair If Isis

This morning we will spend the morning at the chair of Isis and Osiris at Rennes Les Bains. We will spend two hours or so doing water anointing and energetic activations of all who sit in the chair. Whether you sit in the chair of Isis, Osiris or help in chanting, sound activations or prayers what will be conjured will work on you. We take all of the time we want in this group activation.

Lunch at Rennes Les Bain

In the morning we go to Pic De Bugarach and spend time at  Celtic Stone Circle and Route De Marie (an E. T. ARC)

Day 3  (Tuesday May 6th) 

We will take a half hour drive deeper into the foothills of the Pyrenees to the city and forest of Nebias. Most agree this is the best description of a fairy forest ever seen in France. Enjoy a day trip walking in a maze of forest trails and limestone rocks in the presence of the fairy and angel kingdoms. Words cannot describe it. We will enjoy a picnic in the woods. This is this longest walking day of eight kilometers on an all day excursion. Most of our time will be spent sitting in a forest. Remember to bring some form of mat or pad, water bottle and backpacks to carry your lunch. We buy lunch in Quillian bakery.

Day 4  (Wednesday, May 7th) 

We go an hour and fifteen minutes into the Pyrenees mountains to visit the town of Tarrascon then to Ornolac/Ussat Le Bains to the sacred cave of the Cathars, Grotte De Bethlehem for the afternoon. This is a highly charged cave tapping into deep sources of the inner light (or inner sun) of the earth. Once you have visited, it is easy to understand why this was a sacred pilgrimage site for the Cathars. We spend two to four hours at this highly powered cave doing group healings and individual meditations.

Buy lunch at the market, the bakery in Quillian OR have an early lunch most likely or in Tarascon after Sabarts.

The morning we visit the church Notre Dame De Sabarts, founded over one thousand years ago at the site of King Charlemagne  encounter of  Mother Mary at this spot. This church is an amazing connection to the feminine. We will have at over an hour in this church and grounds. The land in general has a strong connection to fairy and fae energies as well.

Late return after 6 PM

Day 5,  (Thursday May 8th)

In the morning we drive one hour and fifteen minutes to Les Orgues near Millas. These spires look similar to Bryce Canyon in Utah but are white. Meditating here is cosmic as it connects to a deep reality of white light that is profound. Remember to take rocks home.

On the way we buy lunch in a deluxe bakery in Estagel. 

In the afternoon we return in the direction home to the majestic areas of The Gorge De Galamus and Hermitage De Galamus. Enjoy an easy one kilometer stroll along this beautiful gorge road looking down two to three hundred feet cliffs into the rugged limestone rock streams of The Gorge De Galamus. You will have time to stroll the gorge or spend extra time in this powerful cave/church.

The Hermitage De Galamus is a Catholic Church within a cave on the cliff side of the gorge. This heart opening, cave church has a strong presence of Mary Magdalene, some psychics swear her presence is so strong it must have been one of her ceremonial places. Some historians agree this was a ceremonial site for Mary. Others say it is something much deeper, more cosmic. 

Enjoy a wonderful cup of hot chocolate or coffee in the concession area at the cave entrance, Great place to buy souvenirs.

W will have close to two hours at this site for prayers, a walk through the Gorge De Galamus (one of the most scenic places, the area’s version of The Grand Canyon).

Return home around  5 30 PM

Day 6 (Friday May 9th) 

Rejuvenation day in Quillian, spend an entire day resting, alone time, walking about the area. You will be responsible for your breakfast and lunch. I will have a cook come in for dinner. There will be breakfast foods in the refrigerator and we can make a plan for lunch. 

Day 7 (Saturday, May 10th) 

Just a short drive away from our tour home is the world famous church of Rennes Les Chateau. The church was used as the setting in the final scene of “The DaVinci Code.” Author William Henry proclaims, “The church is the most powerful energy in the world.” I perceive the church is the intersection of three ley lines and it was likely a place of worship long before the Catholics came in (most likely worshippers of Isis.)

Afterwards will enjoy a relaxing, longer lunch in Le Jardin De Marie in RLC, a beautiful outdoor restaurant with reasonable but delicious lunches and great desserts. There will be time to shop in a few of the shops in the village as well.

After a late lunch we will go to two baptismal pools, one is where the Blanc and Sals rivers meet and the other is “Fountaine Des  Amour” each near Rennes Les Bain. Some believe Mary Magdalene did baptisms one of these sites. Both are heavenly beautiful place and good for a swim if you like cold water. Otherwise, meditate in a fairy like atmosphere or take some beautiful photos. 

We may do some surprise adventures today around Rennes Les Bains, too many options to mention. Prepare to walk in the woods and you may get your shoes dirty. 

Return around 5 30-6 PM

Day 8 (Sunday, May 11th)

We shop the Sunday market in Esperaza and shop for two hours to buy various exotic gifts, lunch and then head out for the day’s highly energetic adventure.

We leave the market at 11 15 to travel 45 minutes to Chateau Monsegur for activations and lunch. Depending on the group, we will have a longer visit to walk up it or remain at the bottom.

Another option for the day is a short visit at Monsegur, we have a story time with Aletheia Sophia of the Hotel Les Contes along with lunch. The church of the hotel is the home of a Black Madonna.

The deciding factor with this day is if anyone has a strong commitment to walking up Chateau De Monsegur or just stopping by to give it a good look.

We complete the day at Notre Dame De Celles, Mother Mary appeared here to a young man and blessed the local spring in a forested hillside, much like the story of Bernadette in Lourdes. The church has a profound presence of Mother Mary and holy water is available at certain times depending on the rains of the season.

Return 5 30 PM

Day 9 (Monday, May 12th)

We spend time in “The Zone” visiting nature sites around the triangle of Rennes Les Chateau, Rennes Les Bain and Pic De Bugarach. It is unpredictable what we will see but it will be beautiful and expansive.

Lunch likely at Rennes Les Chateau and time to complete shopping if desired.

Day 10 (Tuesday, May 13th) 

St Salyvre. 

We pass thru Alet Les Bains to travel up a narrow winding hill to the tiny village of St Salyvre. A former Roman outpost, former Catholic church and now a spiritual community center. French stories say Jesus died here.  Placing your hands on the alter activates a very powerful energy in the crown chakra and third eye. I feel the presence of Jesus here very strongly. However, in the back of the church is a grounded, feminine presence to balance and empower the masculine. One of my favorite places.  This is an amazing place as it is located at a mountain pass of around 2,000 feet so the views are good.

In the afternoon we will have a variety of destinations:  to go to St Polycarpe, churches in Limoux and visit the town of Alet Let Bain, regional Roman capital dating back to the 3rd century. 

Lunch at Limoux or Fournil de Luc

Home by 5 

Day 11  (Wednesday, May 14th)

We go to the town of Serres at the base of Pech Cardou to connect to the spirit of Mary Magdalene in a group meditation. We close the tour in the presence of the spirit of the Magdalene.

We proceed to Toulouse to be delivered to the hotel or airport around 2 PM.

In General

We will visit other locations and it is hard to predict how many due the speed of the group. The priority is to allow the group the time needed to absorb each site before moving on. I hope to provide time to reflect, activate or meditate for one to four hours everyday. Sometimes we have time to visit extra minor sites as well.

All Mornings: We will leave by 9AM. The return will vary from 5PM to 6:30PM.  Dinner will be served a 6 30 or a few minutes later so on some days the schedule will be tight. 

My concern is that you receive the maximum experience, the tour can be intense at many levels. It is OK to take a day off or half day to rest at our tour home.

Places To Visit On The Tour Of Mary Magdalene In Southern France

Most popular sites:

Hermitage De Galamus, Gorge De Galamus, Take a mile walk along a canyon roadway in the gorge to The Hermitage De Galamus. Scenic splendor completed by a church built in the 4th century in a cave by Saint Antone. However, many feel the cave was used centuries before Antone’s hermit establishment. Hermitage is an extremely heart awakening church and it is suspected to be a place Mary Magdalene may have stayed. Feel her presence with a definite strong immersion into the divine feminine.

Cubieries Sur Cin Noble  Templar oriented church and site of a grand old abbey.

Chateau De Payrepertuse, a beautiful Cathar Chateau high on a mountain top (one/third kilometer up) with a wonderful chapel of Mary Magdalene and a second chapel connecting to spirits of creator and heaven. Meditate in the lower level connecting to the lower chakras and earth then activate the crown chakra to spirits of heaven and sky at the top tower. The castle has remained much intact built on a mountain top. Payrepertuse is a wonderful place to experience a large, ancient castle with much of the original stonework. Enjoy viewing a 360 degree panorama of the beautiful French countryside.

Rennes Le Chateau, world famous, the setting in the last scene of the book “Da Vinci Code”. This significant historic site is a most beautiful small chapel in a small community overlooking the small town of Couisa. The lay lines of Pic De Bugarach have a direct connection to Rennes Le Chateau and has been revered as a sacred place of worship for more than 2,000 years.

Pic De Bugarach, one of the twelve major vortexes or stargates on the planet. We will meditate at the base of De Pic.  The Pic has multitudes of ley lines coming out of its base and connecting its energy to a variety of the sacred sites in the area.

Bugarach Church, humble church in honoring Mother Mary in the nearby town of Bugarach and highly energized by the stargate mountain, Pic De Bugarach.

Celtic Stone Circle of Bugarach, there is something magical about this place, not a well developed stone circle but is a sweet natural energy. Is located in the beautiful Communal Forest near Bugarach.

Mount Cardou, legendary feminine counterpart to Pic De Bugarach where Mary Magdalene lead rituals and some say was buried there. Enjoy the subtle energies of this powerful place and feel the presence of Mary.

Rennes Le Bain, spend time in this quaint small, Roman town. Sit on “The Seat Of Isis”, enjoy a hot mineral bath in the River Sals, and drink water from “The Source” a high mineral content spring.

Fountain De Amour, near Rennes Le Bain, sacred pool where legend says was Mary Magdalene’s preferred baptismal spot. Highly energetic in a fairy like setting. A favorite swimming spot for locals who enjoy the cold, salty waters.

Alet Le Bain, Roman town with, most likely, the oldest temple in the area, dedicated to Dianna The Hunter. Also nearby is a wonderful public water fountain of very high vibrational water. Nearby is St Salyvre, a Roman turned Christian church, legend says Jesus died and was buried there.

St Salvyre  Old Roman site and then church where rumoured where Jesus died. Very Profound place.

Notre Dame De Marcielle  Home of Black Madonna of Limoux, discovered in the 8th century. It is a beautifully ornate, cathedral and healing springs.

St Polycarpe  Visogoth church near Limoux with the area’s only aqueduct.

Vals  Ancient site of worship dating back to possibly 2500 BC, amazing architecture and amazingly powerful. Church is built into mountain side.

Nebias Forest, A magical rain forest full of Angelic and Fairy  spirits in a dense forest of trees and green mossy limestone rocks sculptured in intricate mazes making each turn a new, astonishing beauty of nature designs

De Bezu, a Templar Fortress, where legend says held ancient artifact treasures from Jesus via Jerusalem (never to be recovered when the Templars fell). There seems to be an energetic connection between Jerusalem, The Pic De Bugarach and The Bezu.

Grotte De Bethlehem  Sacred caves of the Cathars near Ussat and Tarrascon.

Chapelle de Notre Dame Sabarts  Very old church saluting the black madonnas of the area with photographs and a ornately beautiful black madonna as well. There are wonderful shrines dedicated to Mary Magdalene and Saint Anne. Founded by King Charlemagne in 7th century who saw Mother Mary at this site in which he proclaimed a church to be built in her honor.

Notre Dame De Celles Location of Mother Mary citing in 1600’s, very pure energy of Mary and spring water blessed by Mary are of a  very high vibration.

Monsequr, Cathar Chateau of the tragic deaths of 200 Cathars, included on the admission ticket is a free pass to Monsequr museum. Some believe Monsegur is one of the great pilgrimage destinations due to the power of the mountain the chateau sits on. Two major ley lines cross at Monsegur, energizing the mountain.
