Calanque d’En-Vau – a Perfect Bathing Retreat in France

Calanque d’En-Vau – a Perfect Bathing Retreat in France
Calanque d’En-Vau, Cassis, Marseille, France. A picturesque calanque, situated on the bay that borders two cities, is one of the most unique natural sites in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. The inlet carved into the white limestone features dazzling turquoise water like you haven’t seen before.
There are a few calanques here, but this one has the most precipitous and therefore impressive cliffs. It is possible to go hiking here, but the trail is quite challenging and would take all day long. There are also various boat tours from Cassis, that enable to admire the site from water.
Why to go there?
A unique site on the French Riviera.
When to go there?
All year round.
How to get there?
Get to Cassis, Marseille and around the Riviera by train. The closest hikers can get is the parking lot at La Maison Forestiere de la Gardiole.
