You have chosen to stay in Aubagne, department of Bouches-du-Rhône...Ideally located between Marseille, Cassis and Aix-en-Provence, Aubagne is the city of the famous Provencal author and filmmaker Marcel Pagnol.
Discover a unique natural heritage...
Stay at the foot of the Garlaban and discover the paths of Pagnol. Take the time to smell the sweet smell of thyme and rosemary during your walks in the valley of Saint-Pons, or set off to explore the Sainte-Baume massif, as far as the cave of Marie-Madeleine and the egg cave dear to the Kings of France.Admire the warm colours of the Sainte-Victoire that Cézanne painted and repainted.
If the iodine of the sea calls you, the national park of the Calanques de Cassis is the idyllic place for hiking or lazing around. Venture out on the highest cliff in Europe that joins the Mediterranean Sea, to enjoy its breathtaking panoramas, by taking the Route des Crêtes that links Cassis to La Ciotat.
If you're in a city mood, don't deprive yourself of discovering Marseille: stroll through the streets of Le Panier, the oldest district of the Phocéenne city. Enter the Vieille-Charité, then visit the Mucem, a mecca for contemporary architecture and the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean.
It is impossible to come to the south without also devoting some time to discovering Aachen, its museums, squares and fountains. To continue exploring the surrounding area, venture into the Alpilles, with Saint-Rémy de Provence, the Baux-de-Provence, or into the Luberon with Lourmarin, Roussillon and its ochres, or the village of Gordes.
