Places to see in ( Marseille - France ) Parc national des Calanques
Calanques National Park is a national park located in southern France, established in 2012. It extends over 520 km², of which 85 km² is land, while the remaining is marine area. It includes parts of the Massif des Calanques stretching between Marseille and Cassis.
Marseille abuts the wild and spectacular Parc National des Calanques, a 20km stretch of high, rocky promontories, rising from brilliant-turquoise Mediterranean waters. The sheer cliffs are occasionally interrupted by small idyllic beaches, some impossible to reach without a kayak. The Marseillais cherish the Calanques, and come here to soak up the sun or take a long hike. The promontories have been protected since 1975 and shelter an extraordinary wealth of flora and fauna: 900 plant species, Bonelli’s eagle, and Europe’s largest lizard (the 60cm eyed lizard) and longest snake (the 2m Montpellier snake).
From October to June the best way to see the Calanques (including the 500 sq km of the rugged inland Massif des Calanques) is to hike the many maquis-lined trails. Marseille’s tourist office leads guided walks (no kids under eight) and has information about trail and road closures. It also has an excellent hiking map of the various calanques, as does Cassis’ tourist office, and their websites.
Of the many calanques along the coastline, the most easily accessible are Calanque de Sormiou and Calanque de Morgiou, while remote inlets such Calanque d’En Vau and Calanque de Port-Miou take dedication and time to reach – either on foot or by kayak.
In July and August trails close due to fire danger: the only option then is to take a boat tour with Croisières Marseille Calanques from Marseille or Cassis. Check in advance if you’re hoping to be able to stop for a swim, as only a few tours allow this, such as the one offered by Icard Maritime.
Otherwise, you’ll have to drive, cycle or take public transport, though roads are rough, parking scarce and the going slow. The roads into each calanque are often closed to drivers, unless they have a reservation at one of the calanque restaurants. You must instead park at a public lot, then walk the rest of the way in.
The best way to reach the calanques is by sea – either by boat, or by hiring a kayak from Marseille or Cassis. Operators such as Destination Calanques Kayak and Raskas Kayak organise sea-kayaking tours; local tourist offices have details of lots of other hire companies. Calanc’O also offers paddle boarding.
For access to the calanques closest to Marseille, drive or take bus 19 down the coast to its terminus at La Madrague, then switch to bus 20 to Callelongue, a small calanque with restaurants (note that the road to Callelongue is open to cars weekdays only mid-April to May and closed entirely June to September). From there you can walk to Calanque de la Mounine and Calanque de Marseilleveyre along spectacular trails over the clifftops.
Calanque de Sugiton is also easy to access without a car. Take bus 21 from av du Prado, at Castellane, towards Luminy and get off at the last stop. From there follow the path (about a 45-minute walk).

A Cruise Around the Calanques, France
A calanque is a narrow, steep-walled inlet that is developed in limestone, dolomite, or other carbonate strata and found along the Mediterranean coast. A calanque is a steep-sided valley formed within karstic regions either by fluvial erosion or the collapse of the roof of a cave that has been subsequently partially submerged by a rise in sea level.
The best known examples of this formation can be found in the Massif des Calanques in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of Southern France. The range extends for 20 km (12 mi) in length and four kilometres (2.5 mi) in width along the coast between Marseille and Cassis, culminating in Mont Puget (565 m or 1,854 ft). Similar calanques can also be found on the French Riviera near the Massif de l'Esterel and on the island of Corsica (Calanques de Piana). The highest point along the calanques are located at Mont Puget (565 m or 1,854 ft)and in the mountains of Marseilleveyre (432 m or 1,417 ft).[4] Similarities are seen between calanques and rias, the river mouths formed along the coast of Brittany in Northern France.
The limestone calanques of the Massif des Calanques lie within the recently created Calanques National Park (2012).
The calanques between Marseille and Cassis are popular amongst tourists and locals alike, offering several vantage points (such as the Corniche des Crêtes and Cap Canaille) allowing spectacular panoramas. A great number of hikers frequent the area, following numerous pre-marked trails. The cliffs are also used as training spots for rock climbers. However, this excessive use has posed problems of potential damage to this delicate microhabitat.
Most of the calanques are also closed to the public during the summer (typically July through September) due to the risks of forest fire that often happen during the dry season. The best time to visit calanques is probably March through May, when temperatures are cool and, unlike autumn and winter, rain is rare. As no fresh water sources are available in the calanques, visitors are advised to carry large supplies of water, especially during the summer heat, to prevent dehydration. Boat tours are also available starting either from Marseille, Cassis or La Ciotat, which can provide for some spectacular sightseeing.
In April 2012, most of the calanques were declared a national park due to their uniqueness.

Marseille Vlog Day 3: Cliff Jumping at Calanque de Sugiton
Hi Everyone :D,
August 19, 2019 was one of the most memorable days of my life. I had always dreamed of cliff jumping and visiting Calanque de Sugiton. I watched so many Youtube vlogs of this place and to be able to have my own experience there and video of this place is a dream. I had never done cliff jumping before and had seen a place that was indescribably beautiful with breathtaking mountains and crystal blue water. I highly recommend this place, just wear very good hiking shoes and comfortable clothes. Especially if you're inexperienced like me...haha. I hope you enjoy this Vlog :)
