Cornillon-Confoux is a charming town in Provence with a tourist office to welcome visitors. However, it's important to note that the tourist office has recently moved to new premises.

The Massif massif is close to everything. Or far from everything, as you prefer! Less than 50 km from Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Marseille and Arles, it comprises the villages of Aleins, Aura, La Enjoyable, Pélissanne and Vernègues. Hills with garrigues scents, small fountains, cobbled streets, centenaires trees and local markets: you can only be seduced by this small corner of Provence typical and well preserved.

Ethnography, Art, History and Painting are grouped into collections in a beautiful farmhouse "the Pavilion". The sheep rearing is illustrated by a model containing standard objects on the rural activities of the Crau plain. The history of soap in Provence and the trading of olive oil also find their place in this museum. Other assets: a garden accessible to the public, a library, documentation centre open to the public with photo library and tour aids such as audiovisual and some commercial services (bookstore, carterie, shop).

Set in a unique hotel in the Mazarin district, the museum is the work of Paul ARBAUD. The donation of this collector, gumby and patron is rich in one of the largest and beautiful collections of Provençal tiles, adorning beautifully a beautifully decorated room of antique furniture. A gentle soft light creates a warm atmosphere in this museum, with a rich library containing wonderful scientific, agricultural, artistic and literary works, some of its manuscripts dating back to the th century.

Walk along the beach beneath the Cap cliff and walk to the joint naturist to the bottom of the beach, where you can find a little hot guys. 

Welcome to the heart of the Pagnol region, welcome to the small village of La Treille, now an integral part of the Marseille urban area. In the time of the Pagnols, we were here in the open countryside, we entered the majestic hills so well described by the Aubagnais author. In the village, discover the village square, its fountain (that of Manon des Sources), the restaurant Le Cigalon where Pagnol makes many films (including the eponymous film) or even a little further away, the house where Pagnol wrote the first lines of his childhood Memories. Continuing towards Allauch, you will even arrive at the Bastide neuve, the famous holiday bastide of the Pagnol family

The National Theatre of Marseille, known as La Criée, opened in 1981, is located in a historic building of prime importance on the Old Port. Indeed, until 1976, the fish auction was held there. In a Parisian-style and resolutely modernist hall, wholesalers sell their products to fishmongers who come to refuel. Built in 1855 to compensate for the narrowness of the previous auction, nestled in the old districts, this building still retains its characteristic facade today. Its conversion into a theatre is a real success. Don't pass here without taking a look at this industrial and commercial building that is so dear to Marseille's life in the past.

The Huveaune is one of the rivers that feed Marseille. His role was of primary importance and he was even divinized in the time of the Gauls. The river originates in the Sainte-Baume massif and, according to legend, it is the tears of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine that would feed the river (she lived for more than 30 years in a cave on a massif). The section of interest to us here is located in the heart of the city and easily accessible from Michelet Boulevard. From there, you can head east towards Saint-Loup, on pleasantly equipped bike paths and walk along the river. To the south, you will reach the Prado beaches along a green and quiet path.
