This challenging and technical route, which is exposed in places (please read the description carefully), starts from La Garde in La Ciotat and takes you close to part of the Soubeyranes Cliffs between Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Bec de l'Aigle semaphore. You will discover the unique characteristics of these cliffs, made of a mixture of sandstone, puddingstone and limestone. On the way back, you will cross ancient terraces and the ruins of forgotten farms before returning to your starting point via a small road.

Very difficult
Departure from Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
The Cirque des Pételins is a sight of unparalleled beauty. It is a very little-used trail in the Calanques National Park of Marseille. A superb but demanding hike requiring sure-footedness, good physical fitness and the ability to use a GPS effectively in certain places where the path is harder to find. This hike is not circular; it requires a shuttle service between the Logisson car park and the Col de la Gineste car park.
Please note: you are hiking in a national park; please respect the rules and avoid straying from the paths. Before setting off, please familiarise yourself with the regulations of this National Park

The free Pays d'Aubagne et de l'Étoile bus network offers some unique routes. For example, line 10 (Aubagne Station – La Treille) will drop you off at La Treille, just a stone’s throw from Marcel Pagnol’s grave. You can then head into the hills where he filmed his movies. You will then pass through the magnificent Font de Mai estate. Afterwards, you can return to Aubagne on bus route 14 (Éoures – Aubagne Station). Please note that these buses do not run on Sundays.

Departure from Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
A very beautiful route, but demanding due to its distance and elevation gain. The scenery is extraordinary throughout the route.
We set off at 7.30 am from Callelongue and took 11.5 hours, including a 1-hour break during the day. Using the Visorando GPS app, I recorded 2,768 metres of elevation gain and 2,718 metres of elevation loss, which is significantly higher than stated in the description. You will need to leave a vehicle at the car park at Calanque de Port Miou upon arrival.
