La Treille and the Les Camoins neighbourhood occupy the hills east of Marseille. The landscape combines village streets, bastides, gardens and limestone hills, with an atmosphere distinct from the Vieux-Port and seafront areas. The neighbourhood is associated with Marcel Pagnol, who wrote about these hills and villages in his stories. This part of the city will appeal to travellers who want to discover Marseille through its outlying neighbourhoods and enjoy a greener setting.

Château de la Buzine, linked to Marcel Pagnol's history, is in the area and houses a museum dedicated to cinema and Provence. Calanques National Park offers hiking routes and landscapes of cliffs, pine forests and coves. The hill trails also let you explore the surrounding area on foot. Public transport links the area to central Marseille, while La Penne-sur-Huveaune and La Barasse railway stations serve nearby neighbourhoods. Marseille-Provence Airport is 25 km away.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for walking the trails, when temperatures are generally milder. In summer, set off early for walks in the hills and the Calanques, where the heat can make hikes more demanding. You could combine a visit to Château de la Buzine with a walk in the hills, then spend the evening in central Marseille. To enjoy the coast, combine the park's beaches and coves with a visit to the city and its Mediterranean heritage.
