A hillside town with a view of Cézanne’s mountain
Fuveau, home to just over 10,000 people, rises up a slope backing onto the Étoile range, with Montagne Sainte-Victoire, so loved by Cézanne, on the skyline. It was once a coal-mining town; today it has a wine cooperative, a honey producer and a lively centre of shops and wine cellars. Its heritage includes the listed Saint-Michel chapel and a baroque-style church. The Bassac gate, an old wash house and a dovecote make for a pleasant stroll.
39 km, around half an hour
From Marseille Provence Airport to Fuveau is 39 km, roughly 29 minutes. The indicative price covers the whole vehicle with tolls and luggage: €62 Eco, €74 Sedan, €103 van, and it is the same at night and at weekends. Your driver follows your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and gives you an hour’s free waiting after landing.
La Barque, Brogilum and the summer toll queue
Fuveau has several outlying hamlets, including La Barque to the north, with around 1,000 residents, and Brogilum to the south, so say which one you need. La Barque is also the name of the A8 toll barrier, which often gets busy during the big summer getaways; once booked, your fare does not change with the traffic. Gréasque, Châteauneuf-le-Rouge, Belcodène and Gardanne are neighbours.
Good to know about Fuveau
The Provençal transport museum is housed in the old La Barque – Fuveau railway station. The painter Bernard Buffet once owned the Château l’Arc, now a hotel. A memorial honours Canadian airman David Arthur Cary, killed in August 1944 during the Provence landings.
