You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to

City:
Start at the fountain at the main entrance to Parc Montredon, known to all Marseille residents as Parc Pastré. The park is located in the8th arrondissement of Marseille, at 155 Avenue de Montredon.
(S/E) Go up the tarmac path that crosses the park in a south-easterly direction. At the end of this path, you will come to a bridge over a small masonry canal, less than a metre wide.
(1) Take the path on the right that runs alongside the small canal, which will be your guide until you reach the end and come to a forest path. After a circular bend to the right, pass a pond on your left. Cross a small bridge over the small canal, which you are now leaving behind. Turn left onto a forest path that runs alongside houses, with the wooded park on your left, until you reach another crossroads. Keep to the right, still running alongside the houses.
You will arrive at the canal bridge that crosses Avenue de la Grotte Rolland (barrier preventing cars from entering the park). In front of you is a grassy area used as a boules court, and on your left is a small fountain, which you will go around on the right.
(2) Take the yellow marked path no. 1 on your left, which climbs slightly, then continue through the undergrowth. You will pass, on your left, a climbing area strewn with a few mattresses to cushion falls, just above a man-made cavity that was used as a shelter for flocks of sheep and goats in the past. The path becomes much steeper, requiring you to step over large rocks and sometimes use your hands to help you along. You will come to a crossroads.
(3) Take the black (and yellow) marked path on the left. Once again, the path climbs very steeply. At the top of this rocky climb, you will come to a flat path for a few dozen metres. On your left, a gap in the trees reveals a rocky outcrop from which you can see Marseille and its harbour. You will pass close to the Rolland Cave (difficult to access), on your left and slightly below. Climb a beautiful, very steep rocky slope, ignore the yellow marked trail on the right, and continue on the black trail. You will arrive at a crossroads.
(4) At the black/red/yellow/green marked junction, turn left and descend the red trail covered with small stones that sometimes slip underfoot. From here, follow this red marked trail to Vallon de la Jarre. The trail is clearly visible on the ground and well marked.
(5) At a fork, turn right to follow the red-marked trail (ignore the yellow trail that goes straight ahead). From now on, the trail is less difficult, so keep to the right. You will descend, then encounter a short rocky climb, before continuing your descent to the Homme Mort crossroads. Be careful, as some of the rocks on the descent are slippery.
(6) At the Homme Mort crossroads, the trails are marked yellow/green/red. Take the red trail on the left, which is a bit like a giant staircase. On your right, you will pass the Fontaine de Voire, a place of worship in the history of Marseille. Continue along this red-marked forest trail until you reach the barrier, which you will pass on the left. Continue straight ahead, ignoring the fire path on the left, until you find a path on your left. There are many of them, but they all lead to the forest path.
(7) Turn left, keeping to the left, and follow this main path. You will come to a hairpin bend turning to the right and starting a steep climb. Stay on this forest path where you will encounter two steep climbs, then the path continues without difficulty, almost flat, wide and clearly visible. You will come to a crossroads with a tarmac road.
(8) Turn left and follow this road downhill.
(9) Take a forest path on your left, through a gap in the wall. Keep to your left and pass through another gap in the wall. Turn right immediately after a few metres, before a barrier, turn left and follow the small canal on the right again. You will pass buildings on your right. The path becomes winding. You will pass under a porch, which prevents bicycles from passing, then you will pass a small building on your right. You will arrive at a small bridge and, on your right, the tarmac road you started on.
(1) Turn right and go down to the gate (S/E).
