Aubagne is a Provençal town east of Marseille, between the hills of the Garlaban massif and the landscapes stretching towards Cassis. Its history and traditions are closely linked to Marcel Pagnol; the town centre has memorial sites and shops dedicated to santons, the Provençal figurines made for nativity scenes. The town suits travellers looking to combine urban walks, local heritage and excursions to the coast or hills.

Marcel Pagnol’s birthplace and several museums dedicated to his work offer a closer look at the writer and the region. The Thérèse Neveu santon art centre tells the story of another of Aubagne’s craft traditions. Calanques National Park stretches towards the coastal coves and trails; Grande Mer Beach is 6 km away. Aubagne railway station, 2.7 km away, connects the town to other destinations in the region, while Marseille offers museums, architecture and walks around the Vieux-Port.

For a day out, you can explore Aubagne town centre in the morning, then go walking in the hills associated with Pagnol’s stories or head to the seaside. Fine weather is ideal for hiking and swimming; in spring and autumn, temperatures are often pleasant for exploring the trails without the intense summer heat. In summer, plan walks for early in the day and leave time for an excursion to Cassis or the Calanques.
