More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto sun-warmed stone above the blue—wind pushing the sea into white lace against the cliffs as the road climbs to Cap Canaille. From that rim you look down on Cassis' port, the boats like scattered shells, and later slide into the sheltered mouths of the Calanques by boat, where limestone walls rise sheer from turquoise water and the Mediterranean dares you to look away.
