Source de l'Infernet, Natural spring in Les Pennes-Mirabeau, France
The Infernet Spring emerges from a small cave, creating a waterfall that flows into a natural basin along the Cadière River.
The spring has been part of the local water system since 1869, when the Réaltor Basin was constructed to regulate the Marseille Canal waters.
Local folklore associates the Infernet name with tales of an old madman, a sprite, and a red monster that inhabited the area.
Visitors can access the spring through a 2-kilometer marked trail with red and yellow signs, requiring approximately 40 minutes to complete.
The surrounding landscape features red ochre rocks and sharp formations, leading locals to nickname the area the French Arizona.
