Marseille walks

A magnificent sea and mountain hike in the Calanques National Park.

A walk to the coves (calques) of Luminy estate in Marseille with exceptional views

A walk with breathtaking views of four coves (calanques)

Starting from Port de la Madrague, hike along the edge of the Massif de Marseilleveyre to the Calanque de Callelongue and return via Les Goudes. The balcony trail guarantees superb sea views all along the route.Accessible by public transport.

Beautiful scenery, a great day out and if you want lunch by the sea, head to Sugiton cove. It’s wonderful.

A very pleasant walk with magnificent, panoramic views of Marseille from the top of Béouveyre and Marseilleveyre.

Beautiful loop in the Calanques starting from Callelongue.

Circuit following in Marcel Pagnol's footsteps, passing by the Baume du Plantier (Manon’s Cave) then reaching the legendary Garlaban. The return journey passes by the peak of Taoumé and Grosibou Cave and ending with the Vallon de Passe-Temps.

From the vallons de Préscator and des Piches to the Garladan summit, this hike allows you to immerse yourself in the natural world that Marcel Pagnol grew up in. This itinerary, with its many well-known sites, is above all a variation on the Garladan and is in no way intended to replace the guided tours offered by the tourist office.

Amidst sea, cliffs and rail roads, a beautiful active hike, emphasized by the horns of small passing trains, and an amazing little beach during the journey! Experienced on May 1st, 2013, having the first bathe of the year at the Everine's beach!

A short, very classic hike in the rocky inlets north of Marseille harbour between the ports of Niolon and La Redonne.

A hike through the pines and scrubland of the Massif du Garlaban, so dear to Marcel Pagnol. Starting from the Pichauris car park, the circuit first leads you to the Puits de l'Aroumi (the wells of Aroumi) then the Mont du Marseillais along beautiful, well marked paths, often along ridges, offering magnificent views over Marseille, Sainte-Victoire, Mont Ventoux and, in good weather, the Préaples de Provence. The intense luminosity of the rocks under the brilliance of the sun will leave no-one indifferent.

The beauty of the cliffs overlooking the sea. You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to specific regulations. Failure to comply could result in a fine of up to €1,500. The Port Miou car park is no longer accessible, see reviews

A walk in a regional park with beautiful trails, varied routes and trees, trees and more trees. Departure from the park’s car park at the Pichauris Hostel.

A pleasant little walk. Take a picnic and make a day of it.

An atypical route along the crests and valleys of the Estaque mountain range between Le Rove and Gignac-La-Nerthe. Along the way, you'll see the Vierge du Rove, the Chapelle St-Michel, the ruins of the Templar castle and the remains of the Camp de Laure. A varied landscape with beautiful views over the harbour of Marseille and the Étang de Berre.

A loop through the hills to the north of Le Rove, leading to the Oppidum de la Cloche, where many remains remain. Set in a sumptuous landscape and surrounded by wild goat pastures, the route then reaches Chapelle Saint-Michel via the wild and steep Gipière valley. The return journey takes in the Plaine de Gignac, through olive, oak and arbutus plantations.

A loop around the Bau Trauqua mountain, part of the Chaîne de l'Etoile between Marseille and Aix-En-Provence. Hike along the ridge and enjoy the many magnificent views over the well-known massifs of Sainte Victoire, Garlaban and Sainte-Baume. In spring, the scents are magnificent, not to mention the flora and fauna that awaken. This hike starts off moderately difficult, then becomes a medium hike with some very fine views.

This hike takes you through different environments in a very short time
