Route des Crêtes, La Ciotat 2
A breathtaking view
Viewpoints have been set up along the roadside so you can admire the exceptional panorama of La Ciotat Bay, with the old town and Île Verte as a backdrop. Further along the walk, the Calanques massif stands out magnificently as it plunges into the sea. On a very clear day, you can see the chain of islands off Marseille.
A lovely walk
Along the way, you can see spectacularly shaped rocks, such as Le Pont Naturel, a natural arch carved out by erosion, and the Dent du Chat, a striking stone arch. Finally, you reach the Sémaphore, which dates from 1791 and stands at an altitude of 349 metres. It is here that a military post monitors shipping traffic and ensures the safety of pleasure boaters.
