What makes Hike in the footsteps of Marcel Pagnol a unique experience ?

We will start with the place that both amazed and frightened Célestine, Marcel Pagnol’s mother, during these weekly trips to their vacation home. Don’t worry, Mastoc, the guard’s dog, no longer lives there…

You will discover the final resting place of the Pagnol family and that of Lili (David Magnan) who rests in this same place.

Discover the filming location of Manon’s home in Manon des Sources and the place where Ugolin cried out to her for his love

It’s not a hill, it’s not a mountain, it’s “Garlaban”. One of the highest points of the Bouches du Rhône department. We will share a picnic there composed of regional products.

The Big Owl rests there from time to time. It is the refuge of little hermits in stormy weather. Lili introduced it to Marcel
