Nonetheless, in reality the urban poles of Allauch join Marseille and Plan-de-Cuques.
Allauch is separated from the urban pole of Mimet by the massif of l'Étoile, resulting in it being necessary to detour to Peypin in order to go from Allouch to Cadolive and then Mimet.
No route links Allauch-Village directly to Aubagne and Roquevaire for they are isolated by kilometers of natural hills of Garlaban which is is thus necessary to circuit.
The entire East side of the commune is made up of a forested massif.
