Tips

Hiking

At this old quarry located in this Marble valley, we still find beautiful abandoned blocks. The views of the red and white cliffs contribute to the charm of this valley in the commune of Tholonet. You can decide to have a picnic here. The cut rocks have the shape of a bench and you also find shade. The Tholonet marble quarries were used to beautify many Aix houses.

Nice picnic spot with shade and lots of places to set down among the leftover blocs. Here you can see the typical Sainte Victoire marble with it's characteristic inclusions.
