The prettiest of the fjord-like calanques between Marseille and Cassis: sheer white limestone walls closing around a wedge of pebbles and water of a blue that seems lit from below.

Summer access is sometimes restricted on fire-risk days, so check before setting out — June and September are kinder anyway.
