Explore this spot in Marseille. Popular location for scuba diving, kayaking, canoeing and supping. The Bouches-du-Rhône department in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region is home to Marseille, the second largest city in France. The shoreline of Marseille is surrounded by the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, while the historic center of the city is filled with winding streets, squares and markets. The city also features several picturesque hills such as Notre-Dame de la Garde, which offer stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The area surrounding Marseille is known for its stark limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and the stunning Calanques, a series of deep and narrow inlets with crystalline waters that stretch for miles along the coast. The rugged landscapes of the hills give way to rolling vineyards and tranquil olive groves, creating the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and wine tasting tours.
