Calanques France

These stark limestone canyons sit just outside of Marseille and are a headlining sight, not only for visitors to France’s second city, but also for people visiting destinations all up and down the French Mediterranean coastline. Boat tours are available, but it is easy to enjoy the Calanques for free by hiking along the fjords and cliffs.
Marseille is a great destination for many reasons, not the least of which is the easy access that visitors have to free attractions. While Paris is definitely one of the world’s great urban destinations, Marseille’s attractions and uniqueness mean that it also deserves a place on travelers’ European itineraries.
