Things to see and do

The bike track Pourcieux said the Sainte-Baume, was established on 21 October 2006, for a distance of about 15 km (round trip) to Saint-Maximin, the Gardanne Carnoules-line. This line is closed to regular traffic since 1983, it is classified strategic demand of the military authorities. The goal is to preserve an alternative route from Marseille to Toulon where the main line becomes impractical. It is a scenic way to explore the stunning scenery of the village, passing over viaducts Sainte Baume is particularly striking, as well as the view of the plain of Saint-Maximin, and the Basilica from an unusual angle. Crossing the Saint Pilon tunnel (180 m) complete the enchantment. The track bike is, unless medically indicated against an activity accessible to all. By adopting a pedaling flexibility, its use is not difficult, you only need to follow simple safety instructions given to you before departure. The rail bike runs all year round availability of the railway line sometimes used next. Reservation is required at +33 6 33 81 50 87 or +33 4 94 72 79 93.
