The Mont Puget is a 565 meter - according to another source a 564 meter - high mountain in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in France . It is located east of Marseille and the Massif de Marseilleveyre and is the highest point of the Calanques .
It got its name in honor of the Marseille sculptor and architect Pierre Puget .
The Mont Puget dominates Marseille, which lies at its feet. From its summit it offers a view of the north and south bay of Marseille.
Numerous hiking and climbing trails lead to Mont Puget. The closest starting point to Mont Puget is the university campus in the suburb of Marseille Luminy, at the terminus of bus line 21. A well-developed driveway, which was laid out for the fire brigade, leads up to approx. 300 m to the summit, from there it is steeper on a hiking trail through the Vallon de Sainte Marthe to the summit, which is reached after about two hours.
