There are many walking routes in the heart of the Aix region.
From the village of Eguilles
The Municipality has set up a marked route of 10.5 km, between village and nature.
With an average duration of 2 hours, this route will allow you to discover the Provençal village of Eguilles, its alleys, its splendid panorama and its natural spaces through this mixed route. You will start with the old village and you can see its wash-houses, its castle listed as a historical monument, its viewpoints, its crossings and stairs. Then, your steps will guide you through the olive groves and the forest of the domain of Saint Martin. You will return by the plain and vineyards and can make a stop at the domain of Fontlaure, wooded area classified in the heart of the village.
Without difficulty and recreational, to do in all seasons.
From Ventabren
A walk on the surrounding hills then along the Marseilles canal to finally discover the Aqueduct of Roquefavour, an aqueduct-bridge in stone arch 393 meters long, and 82.65 meters high.
The Sainte Victoire Mountain
A walking site, it is explored by all its paths punctuated with restanques. The religious heritage offers several stages to your hikes : the priory Sainte-Victoire, the Hermitage Saint-Ser, a wonderful landscape of Provence around a small chapel built, the Cross of Provence, perched on the western tip of the massif. At the peak of Les Mouches, an extraordinary panorama embraces the horizons of Provence. For those who want to settle in the middle of large spaces, your picnics
will be done in the shade of the pines and the songs of the cicadas.
For the more sporty : mountain biking, paragliding, climbing are among the activities possible on this site. Experienced instructors can accompany you in the practice and discovery of these activities.
In the footsteps of Cézanne

Around La Roque d'Anthéron, in the pine forest and the Provençal garrigue
A wild walk is proposed to you on the trails of Manon des Sources, in the middle of the scents of thyme, rosemary and lavender. This route allows you to cross, sometimes, a herd of goats, to climb up to the Judge’s Bastide to admire the Luberon and the Durance. The Vaud Roque is home to the Cistercian abbey of Silvacane.
