The starting point is the Logisson car park at the Col de la Gineste, between Marseille and Cassis on the D559. It is free and has around forty spaces.
(S/E) The path starts to the right of the car park. After a few hundred metres of flat ground, the path descends and then crosses the Route Gaston Rébuffat several times. Follow the red trail towards Calanque d'En-Vau to the Col de la Gardiole.
(1) Follow the yellow and blue trail on the left towards La Fontasse until you reach the cistern.
(2) A slightly longer alternative route involves descending into the Port-Miou cove.
Leave the main trail and follow a small parallel path on the right that runs along the Calanque de Port Miou on the heights. Join theGR® and follow it for 100 metres.
(3) A short 100-metre detour is worthwhile to see the Trou du Souffleur.
Leave the path momentarily and descend into the Calanque de Port-Pin. Follow the signs for Calanque de Port-Pin via Trou Souffleur and the red and white cross.
(4) Calanque de Port-Pin. Ideal for swimming and taking a break. Go back up a path on the left to the GR®.
(5) Then follow it to the left, climbing steadily to Portalet d'en Vau (red and whiteGR® ), then join a track.
(6) Turn left onto this track and follow the fairly steep descent into the Vallon d'en Vau to the Calanque d'En-Vau.
(7) Another ideal spot for swimming and even diving from the rocks. The climb back up is via the red trail to the fork in the trail on the way out.
(6) Continue through the Vallon d'en Vau, keeping straight on the trail that leads to the Maison Forestière de la Gardiole.
(8) Turn left and head for the Col de la Gardiole.
(1) Turn left and, following the same route as on the way there, return to the car park (S/E).
