Stone, truffles and old ruins
Rognes is known for its stone, quarried since the Roman era, and for its produce: truffles and Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence wines. The village sits between 300 and 350 m on the Trévaresse ridge, ringed by summits such as the Pié Fouquet. Heritage is everywhere: the ruins of the old village on the Foussa hill, a castle dismantled in 1595, the Château de Cabanne from 1780, the Gallo-Roman mausoleum of the Domitii, dry-stone huts, the Romanesque Saint-Marcellin chapel and the Church of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, built in 1607.
45 km to the Trévaresse ridge
Rognes is 45 km from Marseille Provence Airport, about 38 minutes by road. Your driver tracks your flight, waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign and gives you a free hour of waiting. The indicative price per vehicle includes tolls and luggage: €72 Economy, €86 saloon, €119 van. It is the same at midnight as at noon, on a Saturday or a Tuesday.
A volcano and the Durance valley
Rognes is home to Provence’s only volcano, the Beaulieu volcano, some 17 million years old. To the north the land slopes down towards the Durance valley, and Cadenet is just 11 km away. If you are staying on a wine estate or in a country house, give the exact address. Saint-Estève-Janson, La Roque-d’Anthéron, Saint-Cannat and Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade are neighbours, and the return to the airport costs the same as the way in.
Good to know about Rognes
The Saint-Denis chapel was built in 1720 after a plague epidemic, in thanks to the village’s patron saint. The ruins of the castle dismantled in 1595 and the Château de Cabanne are both listed monuments. The Tournefort motte has an unusual sloping polygonal stone facing.
