The term “calanque” apparently comes from the Provençal “calenco” which means a small creek or bay surrounded by steep ravines. The term “calanques” has by extension come to refer to the entire limestone massif which ranges from Callelongue to Port-pin. This was shaped over thousands of years by the relentless power of the waves and the storms which crash endlessly on the crevices of these precipices.
Nowadays, the Calanques National Park, which extends from Marseille to Cassis is a Natural Zone of Ecological Significance. Combining the pleasure of a swim in the sea with that of the contemplation of absolutely sublime views, this rugged coast is the ideal place to enjoy number of sporting activities, including walking, rock-climbing and diving. Inveterate walkers all dream of walking the 28 kilometres of the GR 98-51.
From the Villa Massalia Concorde Marseille hotel, it is easy to access this splendid natural wonder. The 4-star hotel is located just a stone’s throw away from the calanques. If you have an opportunity, do not miss the chance to discover this paradise area by boat: this is by far the most fascinating way of approaching it and you may rest assured that the grandiose views will remain an etched into your memory forever.
