The Col des Portes is a small pass with an altitude of 631 meters, located on the northern foothills of the Sainte-Victoire mountain (between the Sainte-Victoire and the Ubacs mountain), in the Bouches-du-Rhône, 20 km east of Aix-en-Provence.
Although located entirely in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, it is on the border of the Var and thus connects the two departments.
