Calanques National Park Walking Holidays

Between Marseille and Cassis the limestone splits into calanques, narrow inlets with vertical white walls dropping into turquoise water. En-Vau is the most dramatic; Port-Pin and Port-Miou are the easiest to swim from. Paths are rocky and exposed, so this is a spring, autumn or winter walk rather than a summer one. Cassis makes the base, with its small harbour, its cliffs and its dry white wine.
