Drop-off in the village or at your hotel.
Sainte-Victoire trails
The Venturiers trail starts at Les Cabassols: the driver drops you there and comes back at the agreed time.
Vauvenargues and the north side of the Sainte-Victoire
Hikers and Picasso lovers reach Vauvenargues from the airport in under an hour. Without a car, a private driver is the only direct option: no coach serves the village at all hours.
In summer, access to the massif may be restricted because of fire risk: check before you go.
The north side of the Sainte-Victoire
The north face of the Sainte-Victoire is wilder than the south. Trails start from Les Cabassols and the Col des Portes towards the Sainte-Victoire priory and the Croix de Provence, at almost 1,000 metres. Many writers and painters loved this landscape; Picasso, who bought the château in 1958, is buried in its grounds. The tiny village has an inn and a few gîtes, and the road via Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde and the Bimont dam makes a pleasant loop on the way back.
