GR®2013 Marseille-Provence

Around Berre pond and L'Etoile massif (Bouches-du-Rhone)

The GR2013 is an exceptional long-distance hiking trail, created for Marseille-Provence European Capital of Culture, which traces a bold figure eight across the department. Skirting the Étang de Berre, a veritable inland sea, hikers discover a mosaic of contrasting landscapes: from fascinating industrial shores to preserved reedbeds sheltering a rich birdlife. The trail then climbs towards the limestone ridges of the Massif de l’Étoile, offering spectacular panoramas of the Marseille harbor and the hills of Pagnol. History is evident at every step, from Roman archaeological remains and monumental aqueducts like the Roquefavour aqueduct to contemporary architecture. The flora, typically Mediterranean, blends the scent of thyme and rosemary with the ruggedness of the rocky soils, bearing witness to the resilience of a biodiversity that adapts to the proximity of urban areas.
