Plan de Cuques

North of Marseille (13km) and next to Allauch (3km).

The town of Plan de Cuques is a part of the Marseilles agglomeration. Even though there are numerous local shops on either side of the main street Plan de Cuques remains a simple neighbourhood of Marseilles.

Some people call it a dormitory town, and its certain that Plan de Cuques doesn't offer much for tourists although the large number of local shops means it is a good place to do your shopping.
At the same time its proximity to two tourist centres (Marseilles and Allauch) means that you can discover both the attractions and ambiance of a large city and the charm of a historic village.

You can also take some wonderful walks around the footpaths on the Garlaban range of hills.
