Places to see in ( Marseille - France ) Calanque de Sormiou
Sormiou is one of Marseille's best-known calanques. You get to it by car through built-up suburbs and it's a real surprise suddenly to enter the wilderness. And, after driving back through apparently isolated countryside, it's just as much of a shock when you come across the sprawling metropolis on the horizon.
It's a 15-minute drive (or an hour's walk) down from the main road through spectacular scenery. Note that the calanque is closed to cars in the middle of summer. When you reach the sea, you'll find a large cluster of houses and cabanons (weekend houses) and a white sand beach.
You can take a short stroll along the front on a well-made path or strike out into the hills. Sormiou is also a popular centre for kayak, paddle-boat and rock-climbing excursions. Set back slightly from the waterfront (but on a raised slope with superlative views) is the incongruously named Le Château (pictured), a modest restaurant highly prized by locals for its excellent bouillabaisse.
A reservation at Le Château has the benefit of enabling you to enter the calanque by car, even in summer. The restaurant will ask you for your licence plate number and this will enable you to get through the barrier at the beginning of the calanque.
