Marcel Pagnol, was at one point a hugely popular author, originating from the Marseille region. He is perhaps best known for his “Souvenirs d’Enfance” novels recounting his time as a young boy in the Marseille backcountry, which were famously adapted for film in a series of hugely popular 1990s flicks.
Despite having spent considerable time in the region, I had never visited these hills that are beautiful in and of themselves, but also rich in history. Hiking through the area was jaw-dropping from beginning to end.
