Allauch
The health resort of Allauch is situated amid magnificent hill scenery on the outskirts of Marseilles about 10km/6mi northeast. In the Church of St-Sébastien can be seen a fine painting of the Ascension by Monticelli. To the south lies the attractively laid-out square, Allée des Grands Vents, with four 16th C. windmills, one of which has been restored and now houses the Tourist Office.
