Discover the surroundings of Marseille with the Tour de la Candolle hike
The Tour de la Candolle hike is a real delight for enthusiasts. The departure is from the forest. On the way, it will be necessary to cross a stone wall and a cornice above the vallée de l'Huveaune. You have to climb to reach the top of the Candolle. Once you get to the top, the reward is huge! The view is breathtaking as it far exceeds the length of your arm. From up there, the view is so bright that you can have fun spotting the Sainte-Baume, the Etoile and the Garlaban. You can also admire the Mediterranean blue sky. When the wind blows, the sheep are out on the water. Even if this hike is quite easy, take good shoes and water!
