Detailed itinerary

The Parc National des Calanques is an area of incredible beauty, diverse landscapes and unique cultural heritage. Located in the South of France, and spanning 20km of coastline between Marseille and Cassis, it’s the only European national park to encompass land, sea and urban areas.

Stop 2

Sormiou is the biggest Calanque of the National Park. We arrive from the top with a breathtaking view. From spring to autumn we go down all the way to the sandy beach to have a swim there. A must see!!! The rest of year we take a different route also very nice to discover others paths. We go down to Sormiou or Morgiou depending of the level of the group, the attendance and the weather conditions.

Stop 3

Among the thirty Calanques in the National Park, Morgiou is the only one with Sormiou to be inhabited. Who could imagine that here is hidden a little fischermen village surronded by limestone cliffs. We often take a break here to swim or have a drink.
We go down to Sormiou or Morgiou depending of the level of the group, the attendance and the weather conditions.

There is an air of the end of the world here. The road that goes to Les Goudes winds for several kilometers along the seaside. Many surprises await us here. We make a break at Cap Croisette to discover a hidden port with diving center here.

Our shop is unique; in a garage just near Pointe Rouge beach. You will find here many services (restaurants, snacks, minimarkets, bars, glacier), a sandy beach and many watersport activities (paddle, kayak, boat and windsurf rental,...). From spring to autumn you can come here by public boat from city center of Marseille.
