Walk at the foot of the most famous summit of the Chaîne de l’Etoile. The Pilon du Roy, a rock tooth set on the top of the ridge, culminates at 710 metres on the Etoile chain and offers breathtaking
views over the whole of the Pays d’Aix. Several easy and pleasant routes allow you to discover it and enjoy the sunsets seen from above.
