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.

An exceptional hike in the footsteps of Marcel Pagnol! For my very first hike, I experienced a wonderful day with my husband. A huge thank you to Bruno, a passionate, attentive, and very friendly guide, who showed us breathtaking landscapes in a warm atmosphere. The snack with local products was a thoughtful gesture that was greatly appreciated. An unforgettable experience! I can't wait to go on another hike with Bruno. Thank you again for everything. See you soon. Sab and Chris
