Mimet

30 km North of Marseille, between Roquevaire (16 km) and Gardanne (8 km) via the D8.

Mimet, landscape
There is no need here to look up in order to see the countryside - Mimet is the highest village in the department.
Turning its back on Marseilles, the village looks out over the plain of Aix-en-Provence. It is ideally situated for exploring the Etoile chain and is a favourite rallying point for walkers.
Mimet, street
Despite the large number of houses, the village has still managed to retain a unique sense of intimacy and conviviality.
The main road, Saint Sebastien, is cobbled and lined by old houses. This is where most of the little workshops are to be found: a fine leather goods craftsman trained a bar.
Mimet, stairway
At the end of the street, you will discover on the town hall square, the parish church which dominates the village.
Adjoining the church, the small Mistral lane, hosts a little further Eric Potter's pottery workshop which exhibits his works to the public.
