Experience Aubagne from IBIS BUDGET AUBAGNE LES PALUDS

This hike leads to the summit of Garlaban, where you can discover the Douard engravings. The Garlaban, which rises to 714 metres, is easily distinguished when you're in the south-eastern part of the Bouches-du-Rhône département. Whether arriving from Toulon or from the sea, it dominates the landscape. Its shape is so distinctive that it served as a landmark for sailors navigating the Marseilles roadstead. Some even describe it as the crown that sits atop a hill so dear to Aubagne-born writer Marcel Pagnol. The Garlaban and its surroundings, whether in Marseille or Aubagne, were Marcel Pagnol's favorite playground as a child. He later made it a central element in his work. Let's recall the opening lines of his first novel, "La Gloire de mon père": "I was born in the town of Aubagne, under the goat-crowned Garlaban, at the time of the last goatherds. Garlaban is an enormous tower of blue rock, planted on the edge of the Plan de l'Aigle, the immense rocky plateau overlooking the green Huveaune valley. The tower is a little wider than it is tall: but as it rises out of the rock at an altitude of six hundred meters, it towers high into the Provencal sky, and sometimes a white July cloud comes to rest there for a moment. So it's not a mountain, but it's no longer a hill: it's Garlaban." The starting point for the hike is at the "Gastaude" bus stop, where there is also a parking lot. Join the Chemin du Ruissatel and follow the brown signposted path "Font de Mai, sentier Marcel Pagnol". Enter the Font de Mai park and pass in front of the large bastide. After the bastide, fork left to join the Font de Mai road, which you can follow along a path that runs between oak and pine trees. You'll pass an excellent gourmet restaurant, l'Auberge la Ferme. At the crossroads with Chemin du Ruissatel, continue straight ahead on Chemin de la Font de Mai, which winds its way up to Col d'Aubignane. From here, follow the yellow markings to the Garlaban. Shortly afterwards, there's a narrower path on your right. Follow it until you reach a sign suggesting a 100-metre detour to the Manon cave. Then return to the gently ascending corbelled path. Pass the Col Salis and continue on to the Pas Garrigue, a small steep slope, as we like them in Provence, to reach the Col du Garlaban. From here, it's just a short climb to the summit of Garlaban. The path zigzags through the garrigue. Yes, it's tough! But the panoramic view from the summit is your reward. It's sublime! An orientation table helps you decipher the landscape at your feet. You are the kings of Provence. Return to the Col and turn left onto the wide path leading down to the plain. On either side of the path, you'll discover engraved stones. The path overlooks the Draioulet valley, whose name comes from "petite draille", a reminder that it was once a transhumance route used by shepherds. A shortcut takes you straight downhill for 250 metres, avoiding 4 bends, before reaching an intersection where you must turn left to reach the park and the Font de Mai bastide more directly. After a 950-meter walk, you reach the edge of a hill. 4 circular cement shapes (remnants of an old high-voltage line support?) are the markers for turning left onto a path that zigzags downhill. Another landmark you'll pass: the ruins of a sheepfold. You then come to a wide DFCI track which you must take to the right, rounding a hill dominated by a rocky peak. Keep to the path along the rocky ridge. The Font de Mai estate can also be reached via an alternative route at the bottom of the valley, but the view is less unobstructed. Finish the hike by following the same section back to the parking lot or bus stop.

Hike to the popular Calanque d'En-Vau. Departure from the Bestouan peninsula in Cassis. The itinerary is difficult, requiring the use of the Portalet passage, redesigned in 2022. The route is considerably shorter than that from Le Logisson. The starting point is the "Balli de Suffren" bus stop. When you get off the bus, turn around and go back a few meters to take Avenue des Calanques on your left. At the next intersection, turn left again to follow the avenue down to the bottom of the Port-Miou Calanque. "Port-Miou" is Provençal for "good harbor", and this deep inlet offers excellent shelter for boats on windy days and in rough seas (1). On your left, you'll see large signs for the Parc National des Calanques marking the start of the path. At the start, it's a wide track that runs for 1 kilometer through a former industrial site, the Solvay stone quarry. Cassis stone is a shell limestone of marine rather than lacustrine origin, highly resistant and therefore highly appreciated as a building material in Provence, before the advent of concrete. The site was in operation until 1982. Along the way, you'll see the Cassis "château" on your left (2). At the crossroads, follow the GR signs (red/white or green). You pass close to the trou du souffleur (3). The path descends through the pines towards the Calanque de Port-Pin (4). [Then two options: 1/ The option chosen for this itinerary is to follow the GR to continue the route to reach the Portalet passage, which leads down to the bottom of the Calanque d'En-Vau (5). 2/ Take a detour (not marked on this itinerary) to explore the En-Vau plateau, discover the former Piolet refuge and enjoy several vertiginous viewpoints overlooking the Calanque d'En-Vau. In this case, follow the blue markers which also lead down to the Portalet descent]. Leave the Calanque de Port-Pin, continuing to follow the GR markers. It climbs until you reach the passage du Portalet. Here, in order to limit the gradual degradation of the path and natural habitats, channel visitor flows and reinforce hiker safety, the National Park authorities have undertaken work to redesign the path. Crossing the Portalet passage is a tricky business. It is therefore important not to deviate from the itinerary and to follow the signs. Once you've reached the bottom of the valley, follow the red markers to reach the coastal part of the Calanque d'En-Vau. Hikers, please don't leave any garbage behind. Don't follow the bad examples that are still recurrent. There are no maintenance workers to collect abandoned garbage. Sooner or later, it will end up in the sea. For the return journey, it's the same route in the opposite direction: follow the red markings up to the Portalet rise. Then green and white/red markings guide you to Port-Miou. One last climb and you're back on the Avenue des Calanques and at the bus stop to return to your car. We would like to thank the ©Parc national des Calanques for permission to use its gpx trail.

On the Bestouan peninsula, the Little Prince trail pays tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book, the second best-selling and most translated book in the world after the Bible. This is a family-friendly tour. Good to know about access: During the tourist season (between Easter and All Saints' Day), we recommend parking your car at the Gorguettes parking lot at the entrance to Cassis, then taking the shuttle bus to the Calanques, stop: "Presqu'île". Information on timetables is available at: www.cassis.fr/vie-pratique/les-transports/les-transports-urbains/les-navettes-parking-relais-des-gorguettes/ The tour is easy on the eyes, even if it does include a few steps cut into the rock. Welcome to the Presqu'île de Port-Miou (1), which runs alongside the calanque of the same name (2). The walk starts at the junction of Avenue Notre-Dame and Avenue de la Plage Bleue, where the Parc National des Calanques welcome sign is located. Just follow the enamelled plaques, which provide information on the history of the area and the Calanques (3), (4). Walk along, keeping the bottom of the Port-Miou calanque on your right. At some point, you'll reach a fork in the road (5). Keep to the right to complete a small loop which will bring you back to this point and take you around Bestouan (6). Continue on your right towards a chapel (7). Continue past the tennis courts to reach the esplanade with its panoramic view of Cap Canaille (8). Lean over the wall to catch a glimpse of the large rocky slabs of Plage Bleue (9). Take time to admire the beauty of the glistening Mediterranean Sea, and let the words of the Little Prince resonate within you: "You can only see well with your heart; what is essential is invisible to the eye". (10) Complete your loop by passing under the tall pines of the presqu'île parking lot. Continue straight ahead to reach the junction of Avenue de la Plage Bleue and Avenue Jean-Jacques Garcin. Turn left to return to the starting point.

A must-see in Sainte-Baume! A genuine trove of natural, cultural and landscaped treasures. With your back to the Sainte-Baume Tourist & Discovery Area, cross the road to the corner of the “Parking de l'Hostellerie Est” (information sign), on your left. 1- Facing the Sainte-Baume mountains, take GR9® (red and white markings) going due south, via the trail leading to the forest. After the wooden bridge, take Allée Royale on your right.2- At the junction with the Compagnons du Devoir obelisk, start climbing Chemin du Canapé, to your left. At the intersection with Chemin de Giniez (pole), turn left in the direction of Grotte de Sainte Marie-Madeleine (Mary Magdalene's cave) and go past a first oratory. 3- At the “Oratoire” junction (pole), continue the climb on your right until you reach the stairs and then Mary Magdalene's cave. Taking the same route, descend to the Carrefour de l'Oratoire junction. Then start the climb on your right (GR®9). Go past the Chapelle des Parisiens chapel and continue to the Col du Saint-Pilon pass (952 m). 4- Take GR98® on your right and stay on the trail amidst the limestone pavements until you reach the Chapelle du Saint-Pilon chapel. Then take the same route back to the Carrefour de l'Oratoire junction (point 3). 3- Turn right and continue the descent via Chemin des Roys, following the yellow markings. Pass by the Source de Nans spring and stay on the main path. 5- At the Placette des Trois Chênes plot, with your back to the sign, take Allée Royale on the far left to the wooden bridge you took earlier and head back to the starting point. VARIANT: After visiting the sanctuary of Mary Magdalene's cave, go back down to the Carrefour de l'Oratoire junction (point 3) and continue the descent via Chemin des Roys until you reach the Placette des Trois Chênes plot (point 5) and directly return to the starting point.

Discover 11 unique Gravel routes in the West Var! Routes for all levels, between sea, hills and typical villages, for a cycling adventure in the heart of authentic landscapes.

An easy stroll to the Sugiton belvedere, from where you can see most of the Calanques. Suitable for an all-terrain stroller. Ideal for walkers who don't like big differences in altitude, or who don't have much time, but still want to discover the Calanques on foot. Whichever means of transport you use (bus, bike or car), the hike starts in front of a gate that gives access to the Luminy estate. Have you brought enough water? No ? Then take advantage of the fountain a few meters behind you, under the trees, to fill your water bottle. The hike starts in the heart of the Luminy campus. At the end of the Second World War, the Luminy estate came under state ownership. While preserving the natural character of the site, the 1960s saw the development of a campus at its center, while the outlying areas were handed over to the City of Marseille in 1963 for leisure and recreation facilities. Designed by René Egger, the city's official architect, the campus was inspired by Anglo-Saxon models and adapted to the constraints of the site, between natural heritage and relative isolation. The École d'art et d'architecture, with its patios, galleries, calades and pilings, was recognized as a twentieth-century heritage site in 2007. In September 2023, the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture (ENSA) left its historic site, inaugurated in 1968. The 7,000m² available are now looking for a new vocation. Today, the entire facility is home to some 10,000 people, including students, professors, researchers and contractors. At the start of the walk, you pass through a beautiful wooded area with century-old trees. In the past, Luminy and Sugiton were part of the same forestry and agropastoral estate. The slightly uphill path culminates at the Col de Sugiton. Then fork right and the trail (1) takes you to the foot of the belvedere, where it ends. The reward is a 360° panoramic view (2) of the Calanques, Cap Canaille, the fishing hamlet of Morgiou (3), the Riou archipelago jutting out over the ridges, Mont Puget, the cliff of the roofs (4) and the infinite beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. During the Calanque de Sugiton quota period, this itinerary remains accessible and is not affected by the access reservation. To return, simply follow the same itinerary in the opposite direction.

This walk takes you through the peaceful Saint-Pierre district, in the heart of the city of Marseille. It's best known for its cemetery, established in the mid-19th century. Today, families love the area, which boasts schools, numerous shops, a village atmosphere and good transport links (tramway, metro, bus and main roads). The starting point for this exploration of the neighborhood is the "Sainte-Thérèse" streetcar stop, on the T1 line towards "les Caillols". Follow Boulevard Sainte-Thérèse until you reach the rear of the Saint-Pierre church (1). Join the church square and admire the Art Deco facade on your right. At the corner of the square, turn right into rue Pascal Ruinat, which leads to the Louis Loucheur housing complex (2). After crossing the housing estate, whose facades are painted in a monochrome of orange, follow the railroad tracks to reach boulevard Daumas. At the end, turn right under the arch. You're now on the chemin de Saint-Jean du Désert. When you reach the traffic circle, turn left onto boulevard Jeanne d'Arc and walk back towards the railroad (3). You'll pass the Cristal Limiñana company (4) and the cabaret l'étoile bleue (5). Continue straight ahead on boulevard Jeanne d'Arc (6) until you come to the church of Saint-Pierre, then turn right. Rue Ruinat (7) leads to Rue Saint-Pierre (8). If you're observant, you'll notice that the Saint-Pierre district is home to many small buildings with tiled roofs, representative of traditional Marseille architecture. Turn left into rue Saint-Pierre and drive 300 meters to the main entrance to the cemetery (9). It's like entering a hemicycle extended by a vast magnolia-lined avenue. On either side of the alley are the tombs of the Marseilles bourgeoisie, who made Marseilles famous from 1850 onwards (10). Walk straight ahead to reach a little-known site: a military crypt (11). Continue straight ahead until you reach the 4th intersection (12), then turn left until you reach the depository. Turn right and climb the stairs. On the way, you'll come across several remarkable graves (13) and (14). Go straight on until you reach a staircase, then turn left to reach a secondary gate which takes you out of the cemetery. Go left down rue Saint-Pierre until you reach the remains of an aqueduct on your right (15). Continue straight ahead, skirting the streetcar tracks (16) and (17). The walk ends at the "Saint-Pierre" stop on tramway T1, which takes you back to the city center.

After an hour's walk, you've reached Pointe Fauconnière! A superb view of the Sainte Baume massif and Pointe Grenier awaits you. Below the viewpoint, carefully descend to the left after the pointe (keep following the yellow markings) and continue along the coastal path to the Calanque de Port d'Alon.

A winery and a family in harmony. The wind soothes vineyards and olive trees, A bastide anchored in Les Lecques, All of this under a burning sun. Château Pradeaux entered in the PORTALIS family in 1752, thanks to an heritage that received Jean-Etienne-Marie PORTALIS, Napoléon’s Minister, co-writer of the civil code 1804 and writer of the Concordat. This property is the most representative of Bandol traditions: a vineyard of Mourvèdre perfectly maintained first by Countess Arlette Portalis who passed down her heritage to Cyrille Portalis in order to carry on what she began. The Countess's vine-growing adventure and Château Pradeaux's fate started in 1940 in this winery of 26 hectares. Living in Paris, the Countess and her mother isolate themselves in their holiday home when the war began. This holiday house was Château Pradeaux. After the occupation troops destroyed the vineyards, the Countess started to produce a rich red wine with more than 80% of Mourvèdre: Château Pradeaux became Mourvèdre’s kingdom. Since 1983, her nephew and adopted son, Cyrille, and his wife, Magali, took over and continue the work of this great woman. Indeed, after winegrowing studies in the Lycée Viticole in Beaune (Burgundy), Cyrille is “crazy” about wine and he is determined to carry on the tradition of Château Pradeaux from generation to generation. This is the reason why Cyrille is the only person in charge of winemaking and wines maturing. Few times before she passed down her heritage, this is what the Countess said about him: “He is my saviour, a real vine-grower and an excellent cellarman”.

The church of Sainte-Agathe is part of the parish of Notre-Dame de la Salette. Agatha is the patron saint of the Camoins. She lived in Sicily in the third century.

"An oppidum, in ancient times designated a kind of citadel, a fortified natural eminence and therefore suitable for defense." "Among the oppida established in Ligurian Provence is the highly strategic one at Saint-Marcel. The site on the Baous de Saint-Marcel plateau covers three hectares at an altitude of 167 meters: it occupies a platform protected by steep cliffs on the south and west sides, with the land sloping steeply to the north. The oppidum was built like a fortified village. Dwellings were erected close together. The floors were made of clay-bound pebbles, and the streets were very narrow. The presence of springs at the foot of the cliffs also explains the choice of this location, and at least one well was established in this fortified enclosure, which offers us the finest visible archaeological site in Marseille after the remains of the Bourse." H. Hardouin. It was listed as a historic monument on August 23, 1990.

In Romanesque-Provençal style, it is oriented East-West. The present porch dates from the 16th century. It is Romanesque-Provençal in style and faces east-west. The present porch dates from the 16th century. The present square bell tower was built in the 16th century, when it replaced the bells on the gable wall in a wall-belfry on the west side when the church was extended. The wooden arrow was replaced by a cupola in 1820 following lightning damage. The old bell was blessed in 1820 and replaced in 1925. It was cast by the "Toussaint Maurel workshops". The cross, on the North-East façade a large mission cross, recalling the one preached in 1840. The tin hat has been replaced by a small tile construction. At the back of the choir is a gilded wooden statue of Our Lady Of Nazareth dating from the 17th century.
