Col de la Gardiole (258m) walks

A magnificent hike through the calanques, with a route that runs along the edge of the Falaises de Devenson. Splendid panoramic views of the Calanques, Cap Canaille, the Îles de Riou, Mont Carpiagne, Sainte-Baume, Pic de Bertagne and, weather permitting, the Alps, when you reach the highest point of the Crête de l'Estret. You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to specific regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine of up to €1,500.

This is a short, beautiful hike that descends to the Calanque d'En-Vau, avoiding the main access route, which is very busy. There are no particular difficulties, except perhaps the descent into the calanque valley, which is a little steep and stony. You are in the Calanques National Park, which is subject to specific regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in a fine of up to €1,500.

A circuit deep in the Calanques Marseille-Cassis, off the beaten track.
