Sunset - Frioul Island, France

The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen.

My last night in Marseille: it was a very reluctant goodbye, an emotional moment due to this moving sunset and the

fresh memories of the wonders I had the oppurtunity to admire on the natural reserve of the Frioul archipelago during my trip.

 

Frioul archipelago, Marseille (France).

 

The Frioul archipelago is the limestone shadow off the coast of Marseille and is made up of four islands: Pomègues, Ratonneau, If and Tiboulen.

Original floral species flourish in the site’s arid microclimate. In total, 200 plant species can be observed and some are protected. Many seabirds also flock to these islands including the yellow-legged gull or “gabian” in Occitan.

 

The sea bass farm on Pomègues island has been recognised as the number one organic farm in the world.

The archipelago is part of the Calanques National Park and is a protected site where you can experience the real Mediterranean.
