Abstract

A new tectonic interpretation of the Sainte Victoire Mountain (north of Marseille, southeastern France) is proposed, principally invoking vertical movements and providing evidence which suggests an uplift which may be still active today in the western part. Some new observations confirm our hypothesis.
