EN As its name indicates, Calo longo in Provençal means large cove. Like a confidential address, this limestone indentation gives us a feeling of freedom! Here it’s a world apart that changes face depending on the seasons. The fishermen's huts nestle in every corner of the cove, their boats make do with the little space by climbing the rocks to cling to the relief and shelter themselves from the waves. Playful children and a few bathers, clinging to the rocks, enjoy the crystal clear water of this cove surrounded by a tiny sandbank. Because there is no beach here, only rocks! A few pétanque players live alongside tourists who make their way to access the start of the GR des calanques: the famous GR98 which runs along the coast from Marseille to Cassis. (/!\Attention: it is essential to wear hiking shoes because the path is steep and the rocks weathered.) After 10 minutes of walking we reach the old semaphore, long disused and now restored under the impetus from local residents and the Calanques National Park. It has resumed its function as a lookout and is a place to discover the environment of the creeks. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------- As its name indicates, Calo longo in Provençal means large cove.
