Today, we took the bus 83, transfered to the 19 and then 20 to end up 50 minutes later where the road stops in Callelongue. Few kilometers away from Marseille but still along the sea. As you can imagine by looking at the rocks in the background, we just add to go for a quick hike hoping to avoid the storm.
We quickly climbed up...
We found an old military tower at the top. Got a great 360° panoramic view.
Because of the weather, we didn't spent a lot of time in this area today. We need to come back this winter or spring before the crowd invades. This a beautiful spot commonly called les Calanques.
A calanque is a deep valley with steep sides and it's partially submerged by the sea. It's like a Mediterranean fjord. The best known examples of this formation can be found in the Massif des Calanques. This range extends for 20 kms long and 4 kms in width along the coast between Marseille and Cassis.
Sometime in April or May when the weather is nicer, starting in Callelongue, we want to hike all day to reach Cassis before the end of the day and ride the train back to Marseille. Can't wait!
