Walking tour on the theme of heritage in Marseilleveyre

Discovery hiking trip proposed by Nicolas DEMAY (EVTT Provence)

***

This hike will lead us to the Mont Puget and the Massif de Marseilleveyre which make up this majestic limestone mass standing between the southern districts of Marseille and the sea.

The itinerary is adapted to regular walkers.

Surprises and curiosities are not lacking during this loop punctuated with valleys, forests, domanial forests, scree slopes and views embracing Marseille and the Calanques.

This outing will also be an opportunity to emphasize the cohabitation between nature and man, particularly intertwined on this territory.

The testimonies of past and present human activities are indeed particularly numerous in a living, fragile and complex natural environment.

The discovery of civil and military architecture, engravings, caves, ancient lookouts and vestiges of all kinds will be combined with explanations on the geology of the massif and its natural heritage.

The itinerary starts at La Madrague de Montredon by the path of the President. We then go up to the top of Marseilleveyre by the fort of Goudes and the cave Saint-Michel d'eau douce. The return journey is made through the Pastré park. We finish this excursion on the Madrague port with its evocative street names.
