LES CALANQUES
PANORAMIC EXCURSION
Openings
Half-day morning, 4 hours
Description
We will cross the Pastré Park, an emblematic park in Marseille that offers you natural spaces spread over several hectares. On the way, Aleppo pines, holm oaks, laurel, thyme, a variety of juniper and other emblematic species of the Callanques Natural Park will be presented by the guide. At the exit of the park we will start the ascent to the goat pass, at 320 m altitude. At the top, it will be the ideal time to have a picnic and enjoy the panorama. This hike offers one of the best panoramic views of the Phocaean city, the callanque park and the sea.
Then, we will start the descent through magnificent cliffs. At the beginning, some of the passages exposed will require your full vigilance. After a few minutes we will find caves to explore and the vegetation will start to change. We are now heading towards Callelongue which can be enjoyed from above. Sometimes paragliders will decorate the landscape. During the hike we will talk about environmental issues, the geology of the park and how humans have contributed to changes in the coastal environment. Once in Callelongue, it was time to relax. A dive for the bravest in spring or autumn is possible. We'll give instructions on how to get back into town.
