About Parc national des Calanques

Sometimes we try not to go out of the ordinary and plan our itinerary on what's the most popular or easy to access place but in this case it is better to leave all the norms behind as nothing is worth more than this stunning park. The epitome of a natural habitat untouched, the views from the cliffs of the coastline and the forest are serene and beautiful and one of a kind. 

The forest was incorporated and funded by the government as a natural protection act, the fauna and flora of the park are all maintained by the government funds and for a free entry missing visiting here is impossible. Book the trip with a tour guide or if you like the taste of adventure you can venture into the wild on your own, the winding paths around the forest and the panoramic views from the cliffs is enigmatic, blue waters thrashing around the rocks and miles of endless ocean are enticing and welcoming. A place of solitude and adventure the park is definitely not to be missed.
