Garlaban
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garlaban is a hill which looks out to Aubagne. The summit is 715 metres high.
It can be seen from most of the Southern part of Bouches-du-Rhône, from Marseille to the valley of Huveaune, through to the motorway in Toulon and the one in Aix-en-Provence. In the past, seamen from Marseille used to look to it to find direction.
[edit] Cultural references
- It is perhaps best known thanks to Marcel Pagnol, who referred to it in My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle.
