Departure from Aureille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
A circular route that mainly follows wide, easy paths, offering views of the unforgettable landscapes of the Alpilles. From the top of the hills, there is a sweeping 360° panorama over the Crau plain, the Étang de Berre, and the surrounding hills. The actual elevation gain is 240 m according to my altimeter.

Departure from Eyguières (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Hike to the Tour des Opies, the highest point of the Alpilles at 498 m, a round trip, taking the shortest route via the gentle path—the only one where you won’t need to use your hands. This walk offers a 360° panorama and a breathtaking view. On the way down, you can make a round trip to the Croix des Opies, situated in another valley, directly opposite the Tower, which offers a different panorama.
