Julie enjoyed several fabulous hikes with the International Hiking Group of Provence this winter...two are featured below...
On January 13, we hiked in the Parc de St. Pons, hiking to the foot of the "Pic de Bertagne," the second highest peak in Bouches-du-Rhone.
The hike was especially beautiful thanks to the recent SNOW storm!

After hiking up, up, up and up some more, we were rewarded with incredible views at the top
Parc de St. Pons includes several ruins including a 13th century chapel, abbey and mill. It also has a fabulous glacier, a deep well which held blocks of ice, taken to Marseille via donkey in the 19th century!
On February 17, we enjoyed a windy, but splendid day hiking La Calanque de l'Oeil de Verre, between Cassis and Marseille.
Graeme and Jill EadieJulie will post photos of additional hikes in the coming weeks!!!
