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.

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).

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.

Simiane is the oldest village in the Bouches-du-Rhône located on the northern slope of the Chaîne de l’Etoile. Discover the astonishing richness of its fauna and flora by moving closer to the canyon walls with its canopy of flowers.

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.

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.

The boulevard Longchamp. This boulevard with its plane trees was created by an association of owners who, after having left it to the city to open the boulevard in the 1830s, built apartment buildings and private mansions. The boulevard Longchamp with its plane trees was created by an owners association. They let the city open the boulevard in the 1830s and then built apartment buildings for rent and private mansions. This was an immediate success, and soon a quarter with a very homogenic architectural style developed. Here can be found the typical " three-window " building, a design often repeated in several quarters of Marseille. The observatory, the oldest scientific establishement of Marseille, will soon celebrate its 300th birthday. Before the transformation of the Longchamp plateau, it was installed in the Accoules quarter, in the old part of Marseille in the Collège de Sainte-Croix, where it was created in 1702 by the Jesuits by royal order. The observatory is attached to the Ministry of National Education and the CNRS research organization. Today it is a processing centre for data obtained from the largest telescopes of the world and from sclale space experiments, and also a laboratory for the development of instruments. The main research themes are at present aimed at the study of galaxies and interstellar environment. Since January 2000, the observatory has expanded by becoming, together with the Laboratoire d'Astronomie Spatiale at Trois Lucs in Marseille and the Observatoire de Haute Provence, the Observatoire Astronomique Marseille Provence attached to the University of Provence. Apart from its research activity, the observatory is open to the general public and school groups and regularly proposes educational activities on astronomy. The association Andromède organizes exhibitions, school visits, group visits (children and adults), lectures, sky observations and planetarium shows. Furthermore, the observatory has a very fine room of old instruments which the Patrimoine group presents to the general public and school groups. The Palais Longchamp. The city had a shortage of water and since the 16th century, there had been a plan to dig a canal to supply Marseille with water from the river Durance. The water problem became an obsession for the municipality in the 19th centuury, aggravated by a cholera epidemic in 1835. From 1838 onwards, projects for the digging of this canal were designed finally the plan of the public works engineer Franz Mayor de Montrichier was adopted. To dig this canal of 85 kilometres, underground ducts and 18 aqueduct bridges had to be made. This took 10 years, helped by the tenacity of certain councillors like Mayor Consolat. Right from the beginning of the works in 1839, a monumental reservoir to celebrate this so precious water was planned. After several projects, the design of the architect of Notre-Dame de la Garde, Henry Espérandieu, was chosen to build the most remarkable of all edifices constructed during the Second Empire. Usually, the front is 7 metres wide and the depth of the building is 14 metres. According to the means and the wishes of the client, the buildings are more or less decorated especially around the entrance doors and the window frames. Sometimes, the three-window module was doubled and some buildings can have six windows, but these were built later. Apart from the three-window type, you can see private mansions built for only one family with very fine decoration. Most of these buildings have a garden, and those with even numbers open towards the south. This shows that the quality of living was already one of the preoccupations of 19th century architects. This historic building, inaugurated in 1869, commemorates the arrival of the water of the canal between the river Durance and Marseille. On the same site, it brought together the Museum of Fine Arts, which before was in the former Bernadines chapel, the Museum Natural History, a botanic park and a zoo. The rich decoration of the building evokes the abundance and fertility brought by the water of the canal. Here sculpture has a dominating role, and this work was entrusted to the greatest artists of that period. The famous animal sculptor Antoine Louis Barye created the lions and the tigers of the entrance, and the monumental fountain in the centre of the row of columns is the work of Jules Cavelier. It represents the river Durance surrounded by figures symbolizing the vines and wheat on a cart pulled by the bulls of Camargue. The interior decoration of the museums is also remarkable. The main stairs of the Fine Arts Museum are adorned by two large painting by Puvis de Cavannes, commissioned in 1867: Marseille, the Greek colony and Marseille, Gateway to the Orient. In the Provence room, painted by Raphaël Ponson, the museum has preserved a fine example of historical museography. The Fine arts Museum, installed in the left wing of the building. In the right wing of the building the Museum of Natural History has been instaled since 1869.

Grobet-Labadié museum houses, in a beautifuk XIXth century private mansion owning rich collections belonging to a merchant family from the Marseille bourgeoisie, at its heigh after 1848.

Reflecting the tastes of a refined bourgeois society, fascinated and seduced by all forms of art, the French collections assembled in the second half of the 19th century admirably illustrate the artistic electicism of the " enlightened " connoisseurs of that time.
