** I took this shot during a very pleasant boat ride from Cassis in September 2018, it took us into a number of the Calanques . Seen from the small boat these limestone cliffs were very impressive.

Between the city of Marseilles and the town of Cassis is the Massif des Calanques national Park that was created in 2012 it contains some beautiful coastal landscapes .

A calanque is a narrow, steep-walled inlet that is developed in limestone, dolomite, or other carbonate strata and found along the Mediterranean coast. They are almost like mini fiords and are very spectacular. You can visit them either from the land or by boat.

On our last day of the trip we had a free day, which we decided to forgo the bikes and go for a hikes of the Calannques. It was a great day as the calanques are truly amazing. You can see some adventurous souls climbing some of the calanques.

The calanques (fjord-like bays) in the Cassis are particularly spectacular. Frequently a fog moves from the sea towards the mainland. Together with the sunlight in the late afternoon it is a spectacular scenery. Cassis, France.

some of the Calanques are shallow and sort of "family-friendly" but still beautiful ....
