Le pas de la demie lune, Marseille. A nice hiking with a beautiful view. You can see the archipelago of Riou, natural reserve, the island of Jarron and Calseraigne, and, you have a view until La Seyne sur Mer.
Hiking the #Calanques in #Marseilles was by far one of the highlights of our half a year abroad. #France in the summertime is so gorgeous! You can read more about how to find and hike this trail, as well as the best time to go in my detailed blog post below. I couldn't stop taking photos of this turquoise water! https://contoursofatravelersmap.com/2017/08/23/hiking-the-calanques-cassis-france/ #lifeatexpedia #naturephotography #hiketheworld #travel #france #blue
