Hiking and treasure hunt – Urban coves & creeks

• Exploration of the Coastal road area, its coves and the neighborhoods that protect them
• An itinerary starting from the Catalans beach, with the discovery of emblematic sites on the South shore
• 2 distances/durations available : 4,5km/2h30 or 7km/3h30
• Small groups of participants to enhanced cohesion and keep a playful spirit

Come and play to discover Marseille and its hidden places !

The play area is located along the Coastal road and within the districts that make it up, starting from the Catalans Beach. Just a stone's throw from the Calanques National Park, other equally fascinating and singular coves await the city walker. If you're a lover of hidden treasures, this hike will take you to meet them and the neighborhoods that protect them, which also have their share of wonderful discoveries (including Endoume and Bompard - last one only visited during the 7 km distance). Don't forget your hiking boots... and your beach towel!

A game and riddle booklet will allow you to move forward from stage to stage, such as a real Sherlock Holmes, and thus find out the hidden path you have to follow. Streets or alleys name, details on monuments or facades, objects of urban furniture, you have to walk with your eyes wide open to resolve the riddles.

The guide will unveil you many unknown places but also some must-see ones, and tell you about the sites met, their History and even their legend, while keeping a playful spirit.

The hike can be demanding with the many stairs taken, but we will walk at a reasonable pace and with small group of participants.

In short: walk... have fun... and discover.
