What is a "calanque"? A steep-walled inlet, cove, or bay that is developed in limestone, dolomite, or other carbonate strata and found along the Mediterranean coast, apparently. Or, it's simply a natural park full of wonder that sits in and around Marseille, our happy home in the south of France.
When summer hits (assuming it hasn't been so dry as to close the calanques), we hit the trail in search of natural beauty, adventure, and fun time with family and friends. This summer we've made every effort to get an early start, visiting everything from the peak of Marseilleveyre to the fun calanque de Morgiou to the crystal clear teal blue oasis of En Veau.

I'm in. Is it a good snorkeling spot?

If you like to watch lots of fish swim around through clear blue water, then yes.
Well, I guess we can't say "If your Daddy goes and jumps off a cliff would you ??
Thanks DAD,

Well I can take him out soon and see, and then you could use that question as a lie-detector, since the hypothetical would have thus been answered.
You're welcome :).
