The neighborhood is residential and offers a combination of village and family life. It attracts city dwellers in search of greenery and a certain quality of life, only a few kilometers from downtown.

The new urbanization of the 1970s modified the heart of the village by widening the roads towards Olives, Allauch and Valentine. By moving away from the main roads, the charm of the countryside is very present.

The district also has a history of beautiful and ancient monuments such as the Beau Séjour boarding school, formerly an educational establishment, but also the Sainte-Rita church, a famous place of pilgrimage. The “Mille Roses” villa acquired by Fernandel and his wife is located on one of the main avenues.

Concerned about the well-being of its families, the district has many school structures, but also sports.
