Mont Puget

Mont Puget is a mountain, part of Marseille-Cassis calanques, located south-east of Marseille.

The top of the mountain is covered with eroded limestone that sticks out in numerous needle-like spikes.

A stylized representation of Mont Puget is displayed on the crest of Luminy Faculty of Sciences, part of the University of the Mediterranean Aix-Marseille II.

The Luminy campus is located 1 km northwest of Mont Puget.

The name Puget is a diminutive from the Provençal word "puech" that originates from the Latin "podium", hence an elevated place that designates a certain eminence.
