Les Calanques de Marseille \u00e0 bord du Bruine Beer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

From the Old Port of Marseille<\/strong>, we set course for the southern harbor, heading toward the gateway to the Calanques<\/strong>. Along the way, we pass through the spectacular Baie des Singes<\/strong>, a natural passage between \u00cele Ma\u00efre<\/strong> and Cap Croisette<\/strong>, where the sea and wind shape a magnificent landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching over more than 20 km of coastline<\/strong> between Marseille and Cassis, the Calanques<\/strong> offer a unique landscape: limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and small fishing ports with traditional cabins. A true natural sanctuary, this massif became a National Park in 2012<\/strong>, to which the Bruine Beer<\/strong> has privileged access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under sail, we glide past these wonders like the first explorers in search of new horizons. Our routes take us to exceptional sites: the mysterious Blue Grotto<\/strong>, the Capelan Cave<\/strong>, and of course the legendary Cosquer Cave<\/strong> (now inaccessible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Calanques racontent une histoire mill\u00e9naire<\/strong>, marqu\u00e9e par l\u2019\u00e9rosion et l\u2019accumulation de s\u00e9diments marins qui ont fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 ce paysage spectaculaire. Ici, chaque falaise, chaque crique est un fragment du pass\u00e9, fig\u00e9 dans la roche, et une invitation \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vasion

Les Calanques que nous longeons<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Depuis le pont du voilier, plusieurs calanques et criques se d\u00e9voilent. Sormiou<\/strong> et Morgiou<\/strong> abritent des cabanons de p\u00eacheurs, typiques du littoral proven\u00e7al. En-Vau<\/strong> impressionne par ses falaises verticales et son eau turquoise. Sugiton<\/strong> offre un mouillage pris\u00e9 au pied du massif. Les calanques compte une vingtaine de sites, de Callelongue \u00e0 Cassis.

The Bay of Marseille and the Frioul Islands<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarseille, to tell the truth, can only truly be loved this way\u2014arriving by sea. (\u2026) When the harbor opens its arms to you, then, and only then, do you grasp the eternal meaning of this city. Hospitality.\u201d<\/em>
\u2014 Jean-Claude Izzo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aux portes de la cit\u00e9 phoc\u00e9enne, les \u00eeles du Frioul<\/strong> se dressent, quatre blocs de calcaire battus par le mistral, t\u00e9moins d\u2019une riche histoire maritime. Jadis, Pom\u00e8gues<\/strong> et Ratonneau<\/strong> accueillaient les navires venus d\u2019Afrique et d\u2019Asie pour la quarantaine.

From l\u2019Estaque to Les Goudes<\/strong>, passing through the Frioul Archipelago<\/strong>, Bruine Beer<\/strong> invites you to discover Marseille at its finest: from the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Riou Archipelago<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Depuis la mer, un panorama grandiose s\u2019offre \u00e0 nous : des Calanques<\/strong> sauvages de l\u2019\u00eele Ma\u00efre<\/strong> jusqu\u2019au majestueux Bec de l\u2019Aigle<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 bord de Bruine Beer<\/strong>, nous voguons vers ces paysages pr\u00e9serv\u00e9s, accessibles uniquement par bateau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous jetons l\u2019ancre dans des mouillages privil\u00e9gi\u00e9s comme la calanque de Monasterio, de Fontagne ou de Pouars<\/strong>, au c\u0153ur d\u2019une r\u00e9serve naturelle o\u00f9 la vie marine prosp\u00e8re. Gr\u00e2ce aux zones de non-pr\u00e9l\u00e8vement<\/strong> instaur\u00e9es par le Parc national des Calanques<\/strong>, poissons et esp\u00e8ces marines offre un spectacle sous-marin totalement fascinant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Riou Archipelago<\/strong>, also known as the Island of Birds<\/strong>, is a unique refuge in the Mediterranean. Rare species such as the Scopoli\u2019s shearwater<\/strong>, the Yelkouan shearwater<\/strong>, and the storm petrel<\/strong> nest here, in an environment listed as part of Europe\u2019s natural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these islands are not only an ecological treasure\u2014they are also the cradle of underwater archaeology<\/strong>. As early as 1952<\/strong>, Commander Jacques Cousteau<\/strong> and Professor Fernand Beno\u00eet<\/strong> carried out pioneering excavations here, uncovering ancient shipwrecks and their precious cargoes of amphorae\u2014evidence of maritime trade routes dating back over 2,000 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Calanques of the Blue Coast<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To the west of Marseille, the C\u00f4te Bleue<\/strong> stretches from L\u2019Estaque to La Couronne<\/strong>, bordered by shimmering waters that gave it its name. Sheltered from the Mistral<\/strong>, this unspoiled coastline offers a preserved alternative to the famous calanques of Marseille and Cassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less crowded but just as beloved by the locals, the beaches and calanques of the C\u00f4te Bleue<\/strong> are a paradise for divers and nature lovers. Every year, the oursinades<\/strong> bring together food enthusiasts to enjoy the sea\u2019s treasures in a warm, festive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With limited access by land, the sea remains the best way to explore this authentic coastline. Aboard the Bruine Beer<\/strong>, we sail past the picturesque little ports of La Vesse, Niolon, M\u00e9jean, Figui\u00e8res, and La Redonne<\/strong>\u2014true havens of peace where time seems to stand still. Further on, from Carry-le-Rouet to La Couronne<\/strong>, the coastline softens and reveals wide stretches of golden sandy beaches, perfect for a sunny stopover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sailing along the C\u00f4te Bleue<\/strong> means discovering another side of Marseille\u2014between hidden coves, charming villages, and breathtaking views of the Marseille harbor<\/strong> and the Frioul Archipelago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBook my seat<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
