Carry le Rouet is the last of the semi-official Blue Coast calanques; the craggy landscape is beginning to flatten into the open plains that will eventually become the Camargue.
In Roman times it was a loading point for limestone rock from the nearby quarries (hence the name "Carry") and has been a fishing harbour since at least the 12th century.
Today Carry le Rouet is a lively small town that, thanks to the Blue Coast train line, has become a commuting outpost for Marseille.
A short walk from the station, slung around the port, is the centre, with its Art Deco-style casino, a little art gallery, La Bergerie, housed in a former sheep hut, and a wide array of bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as a single unsightly high-rise block that somewhat blights the skyline.
From here you can walk along a well maintained and easily accessible coastal footpath to the beaches of the Blue Coast, or even as far as one of the neighbouring towns. It's punctuated with illustrated plaques (in French only) about the local flora, fauna and other curiosities.
At the eastern edge of the town, the Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue (Blue Coast Marine Park) has a lively programme of activities centred about conservation and the environment. Avenue Jean Bart, plage du Rouet, 13620 Carry le Rouet.
A little further still out of town is the restored, 17th century chapel of Notre Dame du Rouet which can be visited on certain days only.

GET HERE: by GR51 (Grande Randonnée 51) hiking trail, from Ensuès la Redonne in one direction or Sausset les Pins in the other.
Blue Coast train from Marseille Saint Charles station to Carry le Rouet about 30 minutes.

Carry is - along with neighbouring Sausset les Pins - one of the key destinations for the open-air sea-food feasts held along the Blue Coast throughout the winter (Carry on Sundays throughout February).
