A village built on coal
Gréasque is a small village at 340 m on the northern slope of the Étoile range, looking straight across to Montagne Sainte-Victoire. It lies at the heart of the former Gardanne coalfield, and its pithead at the Hély d’Oissel shaft has been a listed monument since 1989. The mining museum tells the story. There is also a 17th-century château and the Church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur, all surrounded by oak and pine woods.
