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.

Perched at the foot of the famous Blue Mountain, the Sainte-Victoire, this former mining village, partly restored, has been built next to the railway station and the railway line. In the the village’s steep streets, admire the medieval remains and go under beautiful antique doors. As it is often the case in Aix, you will spot “Cézanne’s mountain” points of view; the mythic mountain, like waves of mineral foam bounding the red and black Arc Basin. The highest sites of the municipality offer breathtaking views of the Mont Sainte-Victoire’s Pic des Mouches (1 100m).

The village of Gréasque, a former mining town benefits from a privileged location between Aix, Marseille and Aubagne. In the village center, beautiful gardens have been set up in the sixteenth century castle’s area that belonged to the family de Castellane. The mining museum is locatet within the Hély Oissel wells. The forests of the Communal Domain which extend to Europe’s oldest mining town’s remains offer pleasant walks, and can be explored by mountain bike or on horseback.

A walk to discover the outlying districts of the city center, nestled at the foot of the Garlaban massif and crossed by diversions of the Marseille canal. At the same time, you'll come across a trail in the footsteps of Marcel Pagnol. The starting point for this walk is in Eoures (0), at the "Eoures village" bus stop. To reach it from central Marseille, take RTM bus line 12 from the "Timone" metro station. Pass the church (1), the "aux tropiques" shop (2) and then fork left onto boulevard du Monument until the next intersection with rue Arnould, where you turn left. Go straight ahead, skirting a large park which conceals a beautiful, unseen country house, until you reach a traffic circle. Go down Rue de Ruissatel. You'd be forgiven for thinking that this was once the countryside, with a handful of beautiful mansions, bastides and, above all, a majority of farmland producing early vegetables and olive oil. Green spaces at the foot of the 445-meter-high Ruissatel hill. You've now reached the heart of the village of Les Camoins. On your right, a gate leads to a modern fountain (3). Go around the church of Sainte-Agathe and down the rue of the same name, then the rue Saint-Roch. If the church is open, you can still admire a wooden bust of this Saint-Roch. In the 19th century, this narrow street was home to a post office, where the omnibus to Marseille departed and arrived. For the younger generation, the omnibus is the ancestor of the bus. In those days, the vehicle was horse-drawn. Rue Saint-Roch leads to montée d'Eoures, which you follow to the right for a few meters, then left into traverse de la Penne. You'll continue to pass through suburban areas with beautiful detached houses. Take a look at number 63 (4). After a few steps, turn right onto the traverse de Saint-Menet. At number 21, you'll find a rare plot of undeveloped land, currently undeveloped. Will it resist? In the distance, the view is unobstructed over three mountains in the Calanques massif: Lantin, Saint-Cyr and Carpiagne. Once you've passed nr. 27 of the traverse, walk a little further to reach a secret passage in the wall, which we invite you to use. Marcel Pagnol and his parents' route to Bastide Neuve must have looked like this at times. We love it here at the Marseille tourist office (5). You have to cross the housing estate, part of the Parc des Sept Collines, which refers to the hills you could see in the past, when this was still farmland. Keep to the right down rue Hilaire Curtil until it opens onto a wider road, la traverse de la Buzine, which you have to walk down until you reach a nursery school. Walk along the school's fence to reach the entrance to the Parc des 7 Collines (6). Cross the park to reach the Château de la Buzine forecourt (7). Leave the site through the main gate and join the old panel opposite, which gives details of life in the bastide and the Château de la Buzine. Behind it, a small path runs along the road to the left, allowing you to take a short stroll through the greenery. In the distance, on the right, you'll see a very tall building with two towers and part of its roof topped by a lighthouse. This is the Lycée Paul Mélizan (8). At the end of the field, go back up to the road, the traverse de la Buzine, and go straight ahead. Then take the first right, the chemin de Saint-Menet aux Accates. This becomes a small footpath alongside a dry-stone wall, then joins the D4A departmental road, which you must cross to continue towards the historic heart of Les Accates. Until you reach the village church, the path is still called "chemin de Saint-Menet aux Accates". When you reach the Saint-Christophe square and crossroads, which are pleasantly shaded by several plane trees, walk along the restaurant building and up the Fenêtres Rouges crossroads (9) until you reach the small Jeanne d'Arc square, recognizable by a pretty house on the corner with blue shutters. Turn left, then right at the end to climb back up. You'll gain height as you follow a tarmac path winding through the vegetation to the Accates cemetery. There's a bench in the shade of several holm oaks, where you can take a break. To the left of the bench, take a path which, after offering a last bird's-eye view of the cemetery, joins a fenced property which you must walk along to the right. Walk under the pines along the fence and you'll soon reach a carriage road, the Canal au Val path. The first landmark to confirm that you're in the right place is a fig tree growing like a bush with several trunks in a field on your right. Shortly afterwards, you'll come to the Camoins diversion, a branch of the Marseille canal that supplies water to the land in the neighborhoods you pass through. The road then changes its name (although it's not clear whether there are any signs in situ) to Chemin de la Salette, marking the invisible dividing line between the Accates (left) and Valentine (right) districts. Follow this until you reach a junction with the Chemin des Accates, which you should take down to no. 61. At this point, you can leave the road to enter a natural area, a verdant park, and follow the path to the other end, marked by the ruins of an ancient bastide, La Denise (10). Cross the traffic circle to enter and cross the Denise departmental park (11). Leave the park on the D4A departmental road. Follow this road to the left (past the Fabrique bakery) to reach the RTM "Lycée Paul Mélizan" bus stop, where you can take lines 12, 12B or 12S to return to the town center and La Timone, the collective terminus for these 3 bus lines.

As legend has it, Sainte-Baume houses the tomb of Maître Jacques, who together with Père Soubise and King Solomon, is considered one of the founders of the Compagnons du Devoir Companionship. This worker movement, based on the transmission of knowledge and solidarity between its members, helps apprentices continuously progress. It was in the Middle Ages that the Companionship became organised and introduced the Tour de France, a period of mobile training ending with a then-mandatory stint in Sainte-Baume.

In September 2018, the Sainte-Baume forest obtained the Forêt d’Exception® label, which recognises national forests for the quality of their management and their unique heritage in terms of biodiversity, landscapes, history or high-value timber. This 2076 ha forest contains 130 ha that are part of the relic beech forest. Associated with Mary Magdalene’s cave, the site is a popular destination within the park, which welcomes almost 500,000 visitors per year.

The Sainte-Baume beech forest, located at the base of the cliff, is home to vegetation that has disappeared from many places in Provence. Its history related to the sacred, and its exceptional nature, led it to be called a “relic forest”. It is of great natural value on account of the number of remarkable trees (white oak, linden, Italian maple, yew, holly) and the 200- to 300-year-old beech trees it contains, and due to the high biodiversity of its undergrowth.

The black woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in Europe. Its wood-hammering capacities make it an essential link in the forest ecosystem. The nesting chambers it creates in tree trunks provide comfortable homes for numerous invertebrates, birds and mammals. Insectivore, it loves ants, larvae and wood-boring insects. With a bit of luck, you may be able to sense its presence near the trail thanks to its drumming or the marks it has left on tree trunks.

The Wood-boring insects are those that feed on wood. They include an endangered species found in the Sainte-Baume forest: the Rosalia longicorn. Living in larval state in dead beech wood, it turns into a magnificent beetle several years later. Dead wood is scarce in managed and cleared forests. The “soft” management of the Sainte-Baume forest provides shelter for this remarkable species, as well as many others.

This medieval path is associated with the development of the cult of Mary Magdalene. It links Saint-Maximin, where she took her last breath, to the Saint-Pilon chapel. Chemin des Roys opened in 1295, when the Dominican Friars settled in Sainte-Baume. It owes its name to the illustrious figures that took it. Until 1897, when the departmental road was built, this path, lined with seven oratories, was the only way to get from Nans to Sainte-Baume.

The Sainte-Baume massif has long been considered sacred. As legend has it, in the 1st century, Mary Magdalene spent the last 30 years of her life there as an ascetic, in a cave that gave the site its name (baumo means ‘cave’ in Provençal). In the 5th century, John Cassian, who contributed to the spread of Christianity in Provence, set up a priory there. It then gradually became a place of pilgrimage, with pilgrims coming to admire the site where Mary Magdalene lived.

Places of prayer and reflection, the oratories depict scenes from Mary Magdalene’s life. Built in 1516 at the initiative of Monseigneur Ferrier, Archbishop of Arles, they are currently classified as Historic Monuments. Of the seven initial oratories, six have recently been rehabilitated and only the 7th, at the Col du Saint-Pilon pass, is missing. During this hike, you will pass by the 5th (twice), 6th, 4th and 3rd oratories, in that order.

The Sainte-Baume massif is made up of a Mediterranean south-facing side and a mountainous north-facing side, whose central part has been protected for more than 2000 years. It boasts a wide variety of environments: limestone ridges with low vegetation, an agricultural plain with crops and grassland, and several-hundred-year-old beech and oak forests. A water reservoir for Lower Provence, it gives rise to numerous rivers and features an exceptional geological heritage.

The Chapelle du Saint-Pilon chapel is thought to have been built in the 14th century on the site of a pillar (from the Provençal pieloun), a stone column onto which, according to Provençal tradition, Mary Magdalene was lifted seven times per day by angels from the cave. Ravaged during the French Revolution, it underwent major restoration work undertaken by a Compagnons du Devoir team between 2015 and 2017. From the chapel, visitors can enjoy a 360° view, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Provençal hinterland.
