Calanque du four à chaux, Beach cove in Fréjus, France.
Calanque du Four à Chaux is a small cove along the French Mediterranean coast near Fréjus that stretches across gravel and sandy ground. The area is defined by rock formations and natural vegetation that slope down to the water.
The area was equipped with marked pathways starting in the early 2000s to guide visitors and protect the natural landscape. These measures now shape how the Saint-Aygulf coves are experienced today.
The cove reflects traditional Mediterranean coastal scenery where rock formations and water create a quiet setting. People come here to experience the typical southern French nature up close.
The location has shower facilities and waste bins for visitors, but reaching the beach requires walking down several steps. Parking is limited, so arriving early or using alternative transport helps avoid crowding.
A special protection zone extends 300 meters around the cove where motorboats cannot travel and speed limits drop below 3 knots. This creates calmer waters for all who visit.
