Grotte du Renard

The Fox Cave extends 55 meters in length, featuring a straight gallery that leads to an above-water chamber after forty meters of progression.

This underwater cave, designated as a historic monument in September 1992, represents a significant element of Marseille's coastal heritage.

The cave system demonstrates the geological evolution of Mediterranean coastal formations through different periods of sea level changes.

Located 9 meters below sea level near Cap Morgiou, the cave entrance requires appropriate diving equipment and certification for exploration.

The limestone formations within the cave display specific patterns of marine erosion that occurred over thousands of years.
