Departure from Ensuès-la-Redonne (Bouches-du-Rhône)
This long and demanding hike takes you on a circular route to discover the wildest part of the Côte Bleue, a rugged coastline similar to the famous calanques of Marseille and Cassis.
Despite its more modest altitude, you can expect typical Provençal landscapes, small wild coves and cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean!
An ideal hike for a beautiful (and long) day out of season.

Departure from Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
A very beautiful route, but demanding due to its distance and elevation gain. The scenery is extraordinary throughout the route.
We set off at 7.30 am from Callelongue and took 11.5 hours, including a 1-hour break during the day. Using the Visorando GPS app, I recorded 2,768 metres of elevation gain and 2,718 metres of elevation loss, which is significantly higher than stated in the description. You will need to leave a vehicle at the car park at Calanque de Port Miou upon arrival.
