Allauch: the hilltop village above Marseille

Allauch is split between the old village clinging to the hill, with its windmills and the Notre-Dame-du-Château chapel, and large residential areas lower down such as Le Logis-Neuf. Give your exact address: the old centre has steep, narrow lanes and the driver will pick the best drop-off point.

From Saint-Charles the route crosses the 13th and 12th districts via La Rose or Saint-Julien. These roads slow down when offices close, so allow 10 to 15 extra minutes between 5 and 7 pm.

Can you drop me at a Garlaban hiking trailhead?

Yes. Name the car park or trailhead (for example towards Les Infernets) and the driver will take you there with your bags.

Santons and Provençal Christmas

Allauch keeps Provençal traditions alive: a santon fair, nativity scenes in the chapels and pastoral plays in December, and the Saint-Éloi festival with decorated carts. The Allauch museum, on the esplanade, tells the story of the village and its windmills. From the station, the road crosses the 13th and 12th districts before climbing to the old village.

For Allauch residents returning from Paris on the last TGV, buses no longer run at midnight: a car with driver is then the only direct way home to the village.
