In the footsteps of marcel pagnol

Breakfast and departure to the small world of Marcel Pagnol. Founded in 1974 in an old bandstand, a reconstruction of the landscape of the hills of Aubagne, with more than 200 figurines that depict characters from movies or the life of Mr. Pagnol. It is made by the masters santonniers Aubagne. Be missed.

Following this overview of the life of Mr. Pagnol, visit workshops Thérèse Neveu. Famous santonnière aubagnaise where space is a place dedicated to unifying the Art of the earth and all its businesses.

Free lunch and continuation of the discovery of the city with a visit to the house of Mr. Pagnol, or visit the Museum of the Foreign Legion. In the late afternoon return to your hotel for dinner and accommodation.

Breakfast and departure to the Garlaban, which dominates the town of Aubagne.

Before you start climbing Mount Garlaban, you need to Lascours, north of Aubagne, to the neighborhood "Antique". You can park and begin hiking trails.

Otherwise, you can choose the walking tour accompanied organized by the Tourist Office Intercommunal du Pays d'Aubagne and Etoile.

You will thus be able to see the famous places described in "The glory of my father" and "My Mother's Castle."

Breakfast and departure for Cassis. Nestled in a natural setting which combines pine forests, ocher or white rocks, plains and vineyards in terraces that stretch to the Mediterranean Sea, Cassis is protected by two monuments of nature are Cape Canaille (more maritime cliffs of Europe) by glowing time mistral Creeks and white limestone.

We offer a nice little cruise to visit the creeks of Cassis (Cassis - Devenson - Cassis, 65 min, 5 creeks)

Departure to La Ciotat by the ridge road that connects Cassis to La Ciotat impressive track along the cliffs Soubeyranes. They dominate the sea, offering an exceptional view of the bay and creeks.

Arrival at La Ciotat is a resort that has remained authentic! Land of culture and invention, La Ciotat was born thanks to the cinema brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière, which turned the first film in cinema history "The entrance to the train station of La Ciotat" in 1895, and 1910 is the alley that was born on land La Ciotat.

Lunch during the day. It is about 6 miles of beach extending from the center to the east of the bay. Bordered by a promenade, villas and restaurants / bars, enjoy the sand and the calm of the Mediterranean for a quiet swim.

In contrast, the south side of La Ciotat, the relief is accentuated seriously with the massive Bec de l'Aigle, resulting in the formation of inlets: one, the handle of Mugel, is at the foot of the garden Botanical same name.

The creek of Mugel surprised by the colors of ochres of its rocks, typical of creeks Ciotaden, unlike the white reign to Cassis: This stone bears the name of''soft''conglomerate. The cove opens Mugel of the bay, with Green Island and the top face of the Bec de l'Aigle, which draws its cliffs.

A little further west, beyond the botanical garden, a creek, it elevated to a protected site, Figuerolles. The pebble beach framed by cliffs to moving shapes (such as the rock of the Capuchin), has a charm a little wild, which in its time inspired the painter Georges Braque. A must for anyone who has discovered La Ciotat.

Return to your hotel in Aubagne for dinner and accommodation
