Marseille’s Calanques cover a 20-kilometer (12 mile) stretch of coastline between the village of Les Goudes (a community in the southwestern corner of Marseille) and the town of Cassis. Enjoy an environmentally friendly boat ride on a hybrid electric boat.
From the Vieux-Port, sail South across the beautiful Bay of Marseille, and learn about the oldest French city's rich history as you watch its monuments from ashore. Reach the gates of the National Park of the Calanques, the “Baie des Singes” (Bay of the monkeys) between the Maïre Island and the Croisette Cap.
The setting is majestic, from the limestone cliffs overlooking the untouched in lets, to the tiny fishing ports dotted with tiny “cabanons” (typical provençal cabins). Beyond the famous Grotte Cosquer (Cosquer palaeolithic cave), you'll also pass by other marine caves, such as the Grotte Bleue and the Grotte du Capelan.
This boat ride will allow you to enjoy a quiet ride through this untouched scenery and to admire the local well-preserved marine flora and fauna. You'll have time to swim, to explore the underwater world and to have a pleasant lunch on board on a halt between Marseille and Cassis. Carpe Diem!
