We offer you a hike to discover the exceptional landscapes of the Calanques National Park. This is a loop hike, starting from the Luminy campus south of Marseille, which offers breathtaking landscapes.
The theme of this tour is: the variety of landscapes and diversity of habitats and living species.
Walk-off:
You will start the walk from the university campus of Luminy, easily accessible by bus and where a large parking can accommodate cars. Having quickly reached the ridge of Les Escampons, you will start a descent to the sea and the Calanque de Morgiou, famous for its huts.
Then, by the path over the sea, you will reach the beautiful small Calanque de Sugiton.
Having climbed over the cliffs overlooking the creek, you will then reach the balcony path up to the Col de la Candelle, offering great views of the monumental cliffs of the Grande Candelle.
Finally, you will go around the Mount Puget, returning to the campus by a panoramic path known as the Centauri Road: walking at the foot of the impressive cliffs of Luminy, you will have under your eyes a large part of the city of Marseille, as well as the Frioul islands.
