Departure from La Cadière-d'Azur (Var)
A very easy walk that will allow you to see some fossils, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, with beautiful views of the hilltop villages of Le Castellet and La Cadière d'Azur. Between 1824 and 1949, a lignite mine (a type of coal between peat and hard coal) was operated at the Fontanieu site; a few very discreet remains of this operation can still be seen here and there. Those interested in geology will enjoy "reading" this landscape.

Departure from La Cadière-d'Azur (Var)
This is a very easy walk that follows part of the circular "Boucle au-dessus du Plan du Castellet" route, allowing you to visit the north-western slope of the Pibarnon hill and enjoy the beautiful views it offers over the bay of La Ciotat. Please note that two-thirds of the route is on paved roads, although they are very quiet. Therefore, it is not suitable for those who dislike tarmac.
