Beautiful place for trecker and swimmer. Even though your purpose is swimming, you need wear proper shoes to walk throuh quite steep access road as the road is reserved for resident.
Did a 1h20 trail, red/white/black route. Careful on the slippy rocks polished by hikers. Stunning vistas, a must visit for anyone visiting Marseille. Buses available to take you to and from are regular. I stopped off at a beautiful little beach cove halfway through the hike. Not too difficult but there are some small ascents and descents which might be tough on older knees.
This place is amazing. You can do many activities here. Looking forward to going back!
Like others mentioned stunning scenery views,you can also hike always down and enjoy the beach ,but be aware it's a steep up and down 1/2 mile hiking. Once you there it's paradise!!!
Stunning! One of the most memorable places I’ve been too. The hike is super steep, but super fun and very rewarding. The water during May is freezing but jump in anyways! Definitely looking to go back.
Paradise on earth. Really incredible. Not too crowded, but still quite alot of people. The most beautiful place I've visited in a long time.
Amazing place for combination of hiking, swimming, for nature lovers. Low season is the best, can get crowded!
