A beautiful, winding path that runs through the Vallon de l'Aigle. Can be done in both directions.

Be careful on the road because of stray wild goats. Beautiful valley, pass from Carry-le-Rouet towards Chateauneuf-les-Martigues.

The Fort de Niolon was built in 1870 and converted into a coastal battery by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Today, you can see the casemates and gun mounts from the outside.
