The “Calanques”

The “Calanques” or deep narrow coves, like small fjords caused by erosion of bright white rocks offer a succession of lacy needles, breathtaking viewpoints, ragged capes or coves deep in creeks, some of them accessible only from the sea. The “calanques” go from Marseilles to Cassis on more than 20 kms. It is a true paradise that offers fabulous viewpoints over the cliffs, the turquoise water and the horizon. The main “calanques” are that of Callelongue, Marseilleveyre, Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton, En-Vau, Port-Pin and Port-Miou.
