This pleasant itinerary begins alongside the 16th century Craponne Canal taking us to the very well-preserved Roman remains of a “voie à Ornières”.
Then a wide track, lined with olive groves, leads us to an orientation table offering a view of Pelissanne, from the Mont Sainte Victoire to the Pond of Berre…
A gentle slope back to Pelissanne.
