Parc National Des Calanques La Ciotat 3Linking La Ciotat and Cassis, the Soubeyranes cliffs are a mecca for mineralogists. These majestic cliffs overlooking the sea are the highest coastal cliffs in France and offer spectacular views from the Route des Crêtes. These ochre-orange cliffs are made of pudding-stone (pebble conglomerate), unlike the Calanques massif, which is formed of white limestone.
The regulation that limits access to the Calanques, due to the risk of fire, applies only by prefectural decree.
In the event that the Calanques are closed, La Ciotat benefits from many other sites that would satisfy the many visitors to frequent the resort for its natural side. These include the Voie Douce, the Domaine de la Tour Park, the Jardin de la Ville and the seaside promenade which are permanently accessible.
The Mugelbotanical garden has the particularity of having a children’s playground that delights the little ones. Within the garden, the Atelier Bleu CPIE Côte Provençale association offers many activities related to the discovery of the environment and the marine environment and intended for children.
Navigation and canoe landing are allowed in the Calanques du Grand Mugel and Figuerolles. A ban applies in the Calanque du Petit Mugel and Anse du Sec.
The Calanques National Park is a protected area, that’s why it is important to respect the rules set up to protect it.
