Mont Puget

This guide to Mont Puget in Marseille starts with the ridgeline locals swear looks like a giant face lying on its back, and the centuries-old legend that the Baroque sculptor Pierre Puget carved it himself, born in 1622. It traces where the mountain's name actually comes from, and what the layered, Cretaceous-era limestone reveals once you stop assuming a chisel was involved. From this summit, the highest point in the whole Calanques massif, the view runs out toward the island of Riou.
