Description

Calanques is located in France and is not too far from the incredible and famous Gorges du Verdon, another place in France, or rather Provence, among the most beautiful in the world. The Calanques open up on the coast, jagged cliffs of white limestone that plunge into crystal clear turquoise water. Largely accessible from the sea from Cassis or on foot from Marseille, the calanques offer breathtaking views of the blue and in summer, some of the most beautiful bathing establishments in the Mediterranean. The Massif des Calanques is a wild and rugged terrain stretching from the ninth arrondissement of Marseille to the east towards Cassis, 20 km long and 4 km wide along the coast. Its highest peak is Mont Puget at 565 m. The area is protected by a national park since 2012.
