Discover one of the coast's natural gemsBetween Marseille and Cassis, the coastline is broken by Les Calanques, a spectacular natural gem that presents its dramatic beauty through fjord-like inlets between vertical white cliffs. These cliffs, stretching far below the sparkling blue sea, create safe natural harbours where the fascinating marine life unfolds. The crystal clear waters are teeming with colourful fish, while underwater landscapes offer unique snorkelling and diving experiences. Les Calanques is not only a place for water activities; it's also an ideal area for hiking and nature experiences. The many trails winding through the landscape lead visitors to breathtaking vantage points overlooking the deep blue waters and impressive rock formations. The hike to Calanque d'En-Vau, one of the most popular calanques, can be started from Cassis and offers a unique experience of the magnificent scenery. Alternatively, you can hike from Marseille to Calanque de Sugiton or Calanque de Morgiou, which also offer great viewpoints along the way. 
From the high cliffs, you'll enjoy a magnificent panoramic view that only gets better as the sunset paints the sky in shades of orange and pink. From the harbours of both Marseille and Cassis, tour boats leave several times a day to explore the hidden coves and beaches of the area. A boat trip through Les Calanques allows you to see the raw beauty from the water and many tours also offer the opportunity to swim in the quiet coves. Les Calanques is also a nature reserve that protects the unique ecosystem and its rich wildlife. It is a favourite spot for nature lovers, photographers and those seeking peace and beauty. Whether you want to relax on one of the scenic beaches, take an adventurous hike from Cassis or Marseille, or go on a boat excursion, Les Calanques offers an unforgettable destination that combines nature and relaxation - a must-see on the French Riviera.
