Overview

'Calanques' are hidden coves or inlets formed through the erosion of limestone cliffs. So at Calanques National Park, expect a hidden oasis with crystal-clear waters practically begging you to jump in. The park spans over 20 kilometres of coastline between Marseille and Cassis, encompassing a series of hiking trails and sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea.

If you find yourself in Marseille, take a hike through the park to escape the city's bustling streets. It'll be like stepping into a pristine and tranquil haven.
