Calanques são formações rochosas com predominância de calcário que se prolongam por aproximadamente 20 km ao longo da costa de Marseille. Abrange desde a localidade de La Madrague de Montredon, no 9 ème Arrondissement até La Ciotat, cidade localizada depois de Cassis.

O PARQUE NACIONAL DAS CALANQUES Criaram-no oficialmente em 18 de abril de 2012; o parque merece admiração e a maneira mais fácil é navegando. As embarcações partem do Vieux Port, onde fica a bilheteria, justo em frente da Capela dos Augustins. Na marina de Marseille, ao lado do antigo bairro Le Panier, fica o cais de embarque para quem se destina às Calanques e a Cassis. Na calçada há uma tabuleta oferecendo outros tipos de passeios. Alguns incluem mergulho em algumas calanques. Escolhemos o percurso de 3 horas e não nos arrependemos. A navegação é paralela aos paredões, e à medida que os barcos se aproximaram das rochas vimos o quanto são altas.

LA MADRAGUE, SAMÉNA e LES GOUDES Devido à sua proximidade ao Vieux Port (cerca de 20 minutos de navegação), os visitantes acabam por congestionar a estrada destas calanques nos fins de semana. Não só pela busca de moradores e turistas por um bom mergulho, mas também porque nestas calanques há algumas residências. A curta distância do Vieux Port facilita o acesso a essas angras, e ainda há restaurantes nestas calhetas. Em Saména há até dois pequenos hotéis. Acrescento ainda outro ponto favorável: essas três calanques não possuem paredões; ou seja, situam-se no nível da estrada.

SÃO MUITAS CALANQUES! Mais adiante está a Calanque de Callelongue. Esta possui centro de mergulho, é acessível pelos ônibus número 19 e 20, e por automóveis. É bastante atraente. Segue a Calanque de Marseilleveyre que conta com praia, porém é acessível apenas por barco. Há restaurante e é outro ponto de mergulho. Em Marseilleveyre está a segunda mais alta formação rochosa, com 432 metros de altura; a maior é o Monte Puget, com 565 metros.

AS MENOS IMPORTANTES Com menos importância vêm as Calanques de Queyrons, seguida pela Podestat, pela d'Escu, e pela de Cortiou - onde há uma estação de tratamento de águas residuais e esgoto de Marseille. A partir daqui, até a impresssionante Calanque de Port Miou, a rocha é bastante recortada e algumas Pontas bem longas e agudas avançam mar adentro como se quisessem espetar os barcos que por ali passam.

PONTAS x CALANQUES Uma delas é a Ponta de Merveille e a outra a de Sormiou, que anuncia a chegada da calanque mais próxima e de mesmo nome. Sormiou possui pequeno porto, há oferta de restaurantes e além do mais é acessível a partir de Cassis. Em Sormiou a área de ocupação residencial é significativa devido à facilidade de acesso. A seguir vêm as Calanques de Morgiou e Sougiton, ambas acessíveis por ônibus. Não vá pensar que a condução irá deixá-lo "na porta" da calanque, porque não é bem assim. O ônibus número 21 que sai da Praça Castellane (aproximadamente da Av. Prado, 7) segue até a Faculdade de Ciências de Luminy, no 9 ème Arr. Deste ponto até às calanques caminha-se por aproximadamente uma hora.

ATENÇÃO: nas Calanques de Sormiou, Morgiou e Callelongue há proibição para a circulação de veículos em todos os fins de semana e feriados, a partir de meados de abril até 02 de junho. Após este período a proibição passa a ser diária até 28 de setembro. Um pouco mais adiante temos a Calanque de Saint-Jean de Dieu ou de l'Oeil de Verre, as Enseadas des Enfers e de la Baume, bem como as Calanque de Devenson, a de L'Eissadon, a de L'Oule (praticamente inacessível), e a Calanque d'En Vau que conta com uma pequena praia. De todas, as Calanques de Port Pin e a de Port Miou (Cassis), em minha modesta opinião, são as mais interessantes. Dessas três últimas, as mais procuradas para banho são as d'En Vau e Port Pin que você alcança em uma caminhada de aproximadamente 30 minutos a partir de Cassis. Port Miou é muito estreita. Na verdade, transformou-se em uma...

Nature here is amazing. I had some difficulties to find the right path, without google maps was impossible and not always very clear. However, if you like to walk and/or hike, this place is for you. Cristal water and small beaches, we went end july and not a lot of people. Of course you need to be lucky (like anywhere) that the few people you have are not loud. We took the tellow path. This one is not suitable for kids! But hey, it’s nature!:) A bit sad that in the sea you can se a lot of boats but then the park is closed to the public. Environmentally the impact of boats is way higher then just people walking. However, it was a...

We used google maps and rented an ebike and we had a fantastic adventure with our 3.5 year old son in the infant carrier on the back. We rode 20 miles, stopped at multiple places for photos and had a long lunch with beach time for him at Le Château. Do not miss this, set a day aside from your trip! So beautiful views! Rally recommend to those who love nature and photography. The turquoise water is stunning as well as the limestone cliffs. We climbed the high mountain to cases. The view was amazing and we bought nice fruit in...

Amazing, crystal clear water with beautiful nature. There are many different hiking routes with helpful information on the way that shows you the path. Lovely place with sweaty tanned joggers and students that welcome you along the beautiful hiking route. If you are feeling dangerous there is a little climbing route down to the beach with chains that have an SM feel to it. Went with my girlfriend and she looked great the whole trip. Ten out of ten. Place was nice too!

L'Calanque in Marseille is a hidden coastal gem. The stunning combination of rocky cliffs, turquoise waters, and secluded coves creates a picture-perfect setting. It's an ideal spot for hiking, swimming, and immersing oneself in nature's beauty. The tranquility and serenity of L'Calanque make it a true escape from the city's hustle and bustle. If you're seeking a peaceful seaside getaway, this is the place to be.
