Marcel Pagnol: the Ultimate Promenade Performance.
If you are a keen hiker or a fan of Marcel Pagnol, here's a unique experience. An all-day walk/theatrical performance takes you high into the wild, craggy hills of Aubagne and into the dark, comic heart of the writer's world, which actors bring to thrilling life. Since 1998, nearly 25,000 people have gone on these hikes, inspired by Manon des Sources. Now through the spring of 2011 there's a brand-new show, based on Pagnol's La Femme du Boulanger (The Baker's Wife). Advance booking for it opens today. Click here to read more.
