Very difficult
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.
