A town split by a ridge
Between Marseille and Aubagne, La Penne-sur-Huveaune is home to about 6,600 people and takes its name from the river that flows through it on the way to the sea at Marseille. A small ridge only 134 m high divides the town in two, between the Boulevard Jean-Jacques-Rousseau side and the Boulevard Voltaire side. To the south the land rises into the Saint-Cyr massif, reaching 404 m at La Candolle. Cultural life centres on the MASC, with its theatre group and cinema, and a newer performance hall.
