A HIDDEN GEM IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Discover the Calanques de Cassis, a gem of the South of France between Cassis and Marseille.

This national park boasts turquoise waters, wild hillsides, and picturesque beaches.

To access the Calanques, you can hike or kayak.

Hiking from Cassis, a leisurely walk takes you to Calanque de Port-Miou, a natural harbor for yachts. Continue to Calanque de Port-Pin for pebble beaches and sunbathing on rocks. For the adventurous, a challenging 1.5-hour hike leads to the breathtaking, emptier Calanque d’En Vau with stunning views of the Mediterranean.

Alternatively, kayak from Plage de la Grande Mer, paddling west past rugged white cliffs to reach the Calanques. Paddle by the coast to explore Calanque de Port-Pin and Calanque d’En Vau, choosing private resting spots or beach stops to admire the landscape.
