About
Trail Walking of 5.2 km to be discovered at Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Bouches-du-Rhône, Marseille. This trail is proposed by JN-PARTNERS.
Description
The Pastré Country.
How to reach the starting point: from the Vieux-Port, take the metro to the Rond-Point du Prado, and then Bus No. 19 to the “Engalière” bus stop.
Points of interest: The Pastré Park, wildlife and forest trail circuit, views over Marseilles’ harbour and outlying islands.
On entering the park, take the tarmac path towards the Château Pastré (yellow trail n°2). To the right of the Château’s esplanade, walk past the traffic barrier and into the valley. Climb up through the valley via a narrow gorge filled with vegetation. At Point?, the path turns to the left and becomes steeper before crossing a cavity (Watch out! There are bumps along the path). At the end of this passage, the path turns right, follows the cliffs of the Rolland Grotto, and crosses the La Selle Forest until you come to Point?. When you reach the crossroads, take the path (black trail n°5) to the Valley of Les Aiguilles. At Point?, walk down the valley on the right-hand side (green trail n°1). On arriving back in the Pastré Park, walk past the houses on your left, cross the small irrigation canal and follow the main path back to your starting point.
