We will start by exploring the Calanque of Port-Miou. 1400m long, it is home to a marina and contains a rich heritage: former site of a limestone quarry, underground river... all of which will be described to you.

 

Still following the coast, we will continue until we reach the Calanque of Port-Pin, marking the entrance to Marseille!

 

This winding  Calanque is home to a pretty pebble cove with turquoise waters, where you can, if you wish, enjoy the freshness of its waters during a 30-minute break.

 

We will continue on the peninsula separating these two Calanques, to the "Pointe de la Cacaù" on a wild route whose scars of the military past and the limestone quarry remain.

 

This will also be an opportunity to approach the wild plants, some of which are medicinal, which flourish there.

 

This activity is practiced on stony ground and requires being in good physical condition.

Easy to medium level.
