An incredibly beautiful place! I'm so very glad that we took a private tour from our cruise ship,…read morewhich was docked in Marseilles, France. We rode to Cassis and enjoyed the town, a wonderful lunch, and then the amazingly beautiful Calanques National Park. It is nestled between Marseille and Cassis on the western edge of the French Riviera. Calanques National Park is a stunning maritime refuge. We took a two hour boat ride of the area. It has breathtaking cliffside trails, water sports, postcard-perfect blue water, and is close to cities on the Riviera. The park is unique for its "calanques", which are steep limestone cliffs and coves that meander for miles along the coast of the Mediterranean. Amazingly beautiful blue "sea creeks" flow around and through the park's 26 calanques. Many people were sunbathing, diving, and swimming by the limestone cliffs, in many different places. It has many tranquil beaches and river-like areas ideal for water sports. The park is also a wildlife refuge with many species. The water was so clear that you could see many fish from the boat. This is such a gorgeous area, I highly recommend a tour to this park and be sure to take a long boat ride into the Calanques!

Jardin du Pharo is one of the few green spaces that exist reasonably close to the city center. The locales most definitely have discovered this place. On weekends when the sun is shinning the park fills up with locals playing soccer, having picnics, families with kids playing on the playground and those that just like to enjoy the view of the city from up here (and the view is really good from up here). It's creates an almost electric atmosphere, though still with room to spare is you would just like to sit down and enjoy a bit of sunlight. Be aware that some of the busses that stops nearby also continues down the coast stopping at the nearby beaches. Practical is you want to go there too, but it also means that they are pretty packed with people and getting off can be a bit tricky.
