A headland between Salon and the lagoon
Cornillon-Confoux covers a raised triangular plain between the Salon area and the Étang de Berre, with the village on the headland at its southern tip. Stone lanes lead to the 12th-century church of Saint-Vincent and the 17-metre clock tower topped by a Provençal campanile. The town hall occupies a former 12th-century castle, and four well-kept wash-houses dot the village.
Twenty-seven kilometres, twenty-seven minutes
The trip is 27 km and takes around 27 minutes. Your driver meets you with a name board, loads your luggage and takes you to the village or to the hamlet of Confoux. Fixed fares per vehicle: €43 in Eco, €51 in a saloon, €67 in a van. Tolls are included, with no extra charge at night or weekends. Your flight is tracked in real time.
Narrow lanes, good shoes
Some lanes in the old village are tight, so your driver will stop at the nearest accessible point and help with the cases. Pack walking shoes for the woods to the north, home to around fifty dry-stone huts and a long bee wall with 56 niches, the second largest in France. Saint-Chamas and Grans are next door, and the return trip costs the same.
