Calanque Figuerolles

멋진 파노라마 도로 - 3월에는 교통량이 적음

In the crime novel "Dangerous Côte Bleue" (subtitle: a Provence mystery with Capitaine Roger Blanc) by author Cay Rademacher, a character named Claude Figaroli explains to a police officer recently transferred from Paris what CALANQUES means: "It comes from the Provençal word CALANCO, meaning steep. The bays are nothing more than steep valleys carved into the limestone cliffs by rivers in prehistoric times. Since then, the sea level has risen, and the canyons have become fjords. But they have retained their shape underwater: narrow, steep, and treacherous. What you and I find picturesque today was, for a long time, hell for sailors."

The Great Arch

To do on Sunday closed to motor vehicles, viewpoints of all beauty

Superb climb by bike, difficult attack from the bottom of Cassis and once you are on the ridge road it goes more easily. Beautiful bends, superb viewpoints and beautiful descent on La Ciotat. To do, and do again.

A breathtaking view!!! Good to know, the road is closed to thermal vehicles every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer (July/August/September) so you can enjoy it even more!
