What to expect
Parc de Saint-Pons is a unique natural space located at the foot of the Pic de Bertagne, offering a diverse range of Mediterranean flora. The park features a variety of trees, including garrigues, green oaks, and pine trees, as well as a forest of beech, hornbeam, lime, and yew trees. The park is also home to a range of wildlife, including muskrats, otters, and the rare Bonelli's eagle. Visitors can explore the park's many trails and discover its natural treasures. The park's source, which never dries up, is a notable feature, and its red algae is a rare sight. According to legend, the algae is a reminder of the story of Blanche de Simiane, a nun who jumped into the river to escape her pursuers. The park offers a range of activities for families, including hiking and picnicking, making it a great destination for a day out with kids

THE VALLEY OF SAINT-PONS
Activities: We went to Parc de Saint-Pons, which is located next to Gémenos in Provence. "With its 800 hectares there is something for everyone: a picnic area, a large park (from the entrance) where you can relax, hiking trails, pétanque courts." We decided to visit the Cistercian abbey
Highlights: We really enjoyed our visit! "The trails are very pretty, the species of trees are indicated, it smells good of garrigue and we hear the sound of water that we have the impression of going up along the path." We saw a "very pretty waterfall! (which my daughter loved)" ✨
