What to expect
The Calanque de Callelongue is a small, secluded cove located in the 8th arrondissement of Marseille, France. It is situated at the end of a winding road that offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding landscape. The calanque is known for its crystal-clear waters, rocky shores, and picturesque cabanons, which are small fishing huts. The area is popular for hiking, with several trails that offer stunning views of the sea and the surrounding hills. The calanque is also home to a small port, where fishermen still operate, and a restaurant that serves fresh seafood. The area has been used as a filming location for several movies and has a rich history, with evidence of human occupation dating back to prehistoric times. Visitors can explore the calanque and its surroundings, including the nearby hills and the ancient chapel of Saint-Michel d'Eau Douce
