Calanque de Port-Miou, Limestone cliffs and marina in Cassis, France
Port-Miou extends 1,400 meters inland between white cliffs, featuring a natural harbor that accommodates 550 boats under 20 meters in length.
The calanque belonged to the Maison des Baux seigniory until 1402, when Odon de Villars transferred it to Philippe de Lévis along with other properties.
The Petit Prince walking trail circles the peninsula, connecting visitors to the location where Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's aircraft remains were found.
From Cassis town center, visitors reach the calanque through a 30-minute walk or take a shuttle service from Les Gorguettes parking area.
An underground freshwater spring creates a cold current where it meets the warmer seawater, marked by surface foam and distinct water patterns.
