The walk is pleasant and lasts only one hour and a half. You can easily do it in family because it is very easy and impossible to get lost; the indicator panels are well located. The Regional Natural Park of Luberon has marked the evolution of plaques that give information about the Luberon wine culture as well as the three AOC: Côtes du Rhône, Ventoux and Coteaux de Pierrevert (five information stations). For the rest, a hilly landscape of vineyards and olive tree.

Here's an enchanting stroll through the Perrache forest for kids. Discovering and understanding nature through interpretive panels and playful sculptures is a great incentive for young children. And so it should be, since this is the culmination of work carried out by the Bédouin nursery school and the Mazan secondary school. Follow Tilou and Marcou and get to know the remarkable beech tree, chat with the red squirrel, better understand the wolf. Observation is at the heart of this one-hour hike. We decipher footprints, dig beneath the leaves, look up into the treetops. These are gestures that pitchouns will never forget.

The trail starts right by the bakery. And if the first few hundred meters are a bit of a struggle, you'll soon be surprised by the first works to grace the undergrowth. Since 2013, thanks to the participation of international artists in residence, the forest has been enriched by new creations every year. Scents, colors and materials are added to the richness of nature, which is already so beautiful.

Whether it's a crush, a smile or a surprise, let your emotions run wild for 1h30. Along the same path, a reconstructed charcoal kiln (a mound of cut wood from which charcoal was made) tells a little of the past history of the inhabitants of this mountainside.

Bastide MARIN is a 17th-century manor house located in La Ciotat, Bouches-du-Rhône. This bastide, typical of the Aix-en-Provence and Marseille region, has been listed as a historic monument since 2013. It owes its name to one of La Ciotat's most famous families. Successive owners of the bastide, such as the MARIN, ABEILLE, PORTALIS and FABRE families, were ocean-going captains and shipowners who made their fortunes trading with the countries of the Levant. Since 2004, the "La Ciotat, il était une fois" association has been managing the restoration of the bastide and has created a Mediterranean Heritage Interpretation Center. Twice a week, the public is invited to take guided or self-guided tours. In addition, the association offers an annual cultural program including lectures, historical shows and natural heritage events. In 2021, Bastide Marin has been selected for the Heritage Lottery.
