Fantastic view over the two Étangs de Lavalduc and de Citis.

U-turn in the oppidum because it is surrounded by fence then impassable path in the descent above the Etang du Pourra, charred trees and many branches on the way... So some parts to avoid especially in VAE ...

A magnificent chapel and a high place of local archeology to visit which also offers magnificent views of the surrounding ponds and the town of Istres! Unavoidable !

Cool rotating rail bridge across the Canal de Caronte south of Martigues
