‘On the wings of the wind’
The town’s Latin motto, Super pennas ventorum, suits its old village well. Perched on a rocky spur, it lines up a church, a windmill and two châteaux like a Provençal nativity scene. Around it stretches one of the largest communes in the area, a mix of limestone hills, residential streets and business zones. In the south-east, Les Cadeneaux has a church almost 300 years old, while Le Plan-des-Pennes to the south-west is still a country hamlet.
Fifteen minutes north of Marseille
The commune lies about 10 km from the airport as the crow flies and a few minutes from Aix-en-Provence TGV station. By road the drive is 12 km, roughly 15 minutes. Fixed fares per vehicle: €20 in Eco, €30 in a saloon, €50 in a van. Your driver tracks the flight, waits with a name board, and the first hour of waiting is free.
Shopping at Plan-de-Campagne
To the north-east, Plan-de-Campagne, described as France’s largest retail zone, lies two-thirds within the commune. If you plan a shopping stop, the van leaves room for bags on the way back. Staying in La Gavotte, on the Marseille border, or in Les Cadeneaux? Just give the full address: the fare is the same across every district. Tolls are included in every fare, and nothing changes at night.
Good to know about Les Pennes-Mirabeau
