Gémenos: Les Paluds business park and Saint-Pons park

Gémenos has two sides: Les Paluds business park, shared with Aubagne, home to many company headquarters and warehouses, and the old village below the Sainte-Baume with the Saint-Pons park, its springs and Cistercian abbey. Tell us whether it is a business meeting or a day out in nature.

The driver leaves the station via the Jarret and the A50 towards Aubagne, then the A52 to the Gémenos exit (toll included). In the evening, leaving Marseille eastwards is often slow.

Can you drive up to the Col de l’Espigoulier?

Yes, the winding road starts in the village. Allow the extra time if you continue to Plan-d’Aups.

Gémenos, between business park and valley

The Gémenos business park, one of the largest in the département, hosts head offices, laboratories and logistics firms whose visitors often arrive by TGV: the driver waits on the platform with a sign bearing the company name. The village keeps its lanes, its château now the town hall, and the Saint-Pons valley, cool in summer. From the station the road follows the A50 and A52, with a direct exit to the park.

For a seminar in one of the valley hotels or a wedding at an estate in the Sainte-Baume, we coordinate the guests’ arrivals as their trains come in.
