What to do and see in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur: The Best Things to do
This beautiful fishing town on the Mediterranean Sea glimmers with sunshine and charm—so much so that Vincent van Gogh captured the streets and seascape of Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer. In between lunching and shopping, visit the monolithic Church of Three Saints, a stone Romanesque church that was built in the 12th century. That, plus museums and bullfight arenas, will stimulate your cultural yens. Savor fresh fish and plump shellfish at any one of Sainte-Marie-de-la-Mer’s exquisite cafes and restaurants.

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.
