If you want to visit the Côte Bleue in a slightly different way we advise you to do so in  boat: a very exotic way which will allow you to discover the coves, Marseille and the islands of Frioul from another angle.

Departures are every day from the port of Carry-le-Rouet, three different circuits are offered by the company “Croisières Côte Bleue Albatros”:

• Circuit A: The Calanques of the Côte Bleue – Duration: 1h30

• Circuit B : The Old Port, the islands of If and Frioul – Duration: 3h00

• Circuit C : The Calanques de Marseille and Cassis national park, the Frioul islands and the Old Port of Marseille – Duration: Full day (9 a.m.-6 p.m.)

Reservations are made on the website, it is also possible to arrive directly on the quay at least 30 minutes before the boat leaves.

A train line nr 7 with a very picturesque route that you can take directly from Ensuès la Redonne station (700m from Calanque de Figuières). Dogs are accepted on the train, however, please remember to specify this when booking or purchasing the ticket because they must have their ticket (they will benefit from 50% off the full price). 

The journey between Ensuès la Redonne station and Marseille lasts around 30 minutes and will allow you to admire the breathtaking landscapes of the coves of the Côte Bleue. You will be surprised by this path along the Coast, where even by car you do not have access. 

You will thus be able to discover the beauty of the entire Blue Coast, the paradise of turquoise blue colors, the preserved nature. The journey runs along the aqueduct on the height of the coves of Niolon, Méjean, Erevine, Figuerolles... until the Saint-Charles station in Marseille.

​

During your stay with us you have the opportunity to discover the Côte Bleue on foot: if you are a hiker at heart you will find, along the Côte Bleue, several  interesting circuits to do. You can simply do a loop of the cove from the parking lot of Ensuès station.
This ride gives you stunning views of the bay all the way.

 You will also be able to admire  the majestic stone viaduct of the SNCF line which runs along the 5 coves: the Grand Méjean, Petit Méjean, Figuières, the Redonne and the Madrague de Gignac.

Various walking routes are accessible directly at the foot of the apartment, most of which cross the Grand and Petit Méjean. These two coves can be discovered on foot in 10 minutes from my accommodation. Access is very easy, so you can do this walk even with young children.
