Local history and culture Provence

The Coq gourmand, a wine cellar but not only. A walk in a non-standard, atypical and historic place. A gourmand journey in time. A historical journey in the old cellars of the Arsenal Arsenal. Tasting workshops around good wines. Thematic evenings: exhibitions, wine meetings, conferences, cooking courses. The visit of the cellars commented by Claudine, the mistress of the passionate places, will enchant you. You will discover the fine bottles of wine growers, antique objects of table and wine and other wonders. The most of the cellar, for the greedy, a choice of olive oils, honey, jams and other chocolates! For the curious, an expo/collection of ceramic fowls. Before leaving, discover the wines of famous stars, Pierre Richard, Gérard Depardieu, Jean Carmet, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Laurent Gerra, Francis Cabrel… A lovely welcome! An indispensable place in Marseille!

This road, taken by Napoleon to cross the Alps, rises very quickly and winds in a rough lacets. It runs through vast black pine forests and offers beautiful perspectives on the Alps. This is an obligatory passage for the riders of the Monte Carlo rally. 

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
