Carry-le-Rouet, Seaside commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France
Carry-le-Rouet is a seaside town along the Mediterranean coast with pine-covered hills, several beaches, and small coves featuring clear water and pebbled shores. The village spreads along the waterfront with houses reaching down to the sea's edge.
The village started as a small fishing settlement and developed into a popular residential area during the 20th century for people from the Marseille region. Its rail connection helped this growth by making it easier to reach from nearby cities.
The town celebrates Les Oursinades each February, when locals and visitors taste fresh sea urchins and other shellfish brought straight from local fishermen. The festival shows how deeply the sea shapes daily life here.
The TER railway station connects the village to Marseille and other coastal towns on the Miramas-L'Estaque line. Walking to the port and beaches is straightforward from the station.
French actor Fernandel built a house overlooking the port in the 1930s. His presence helped give the village a touch of cultural prestige during that era.
