Allauch
Situated between the sea and the hinterland of Provence, Allauch is a Provencal village full of history.
Just ten kilometers from Marseille, Allauch is the perfect place to enjoy both the sea and nature. A gateway to Marcel Pagnol’s hills, Allauch is particularly appealing thanks to its well-preserved Provencal traditions.
Home to the Bastide Neuve, the famous house where Marcel Pagnol used to spend his vacations, Allauch is also home to most of the remarkable peaks of the Pagnol hills, as well as a number of caves. Allauch is also home to the Parc Départemental de Pichauris, from which many of the hillside walks start.
Above the village is the Notre-Dame du Château chapel, which can be reached on foot. Its forecourt offers a breathtaking view of Marseille, dominated by the famous “Bonne Mère” (Good Mother), in some ways considered its big sister.
Allauch is an ideal setting for families looking to recharge their batteries.
