BEACHES AND CREEKS
Read moreFour beautiful beaches are accessible on foot from the centre of the village: Arène beach, Corton beach, Grand Mer beach on pier, and finally the smallest, a little way away, the Bestouan beach. The calanques massif is famous all over the world. Classified, its vulnerability imposes a strict regulations that often prohibit access in summer except on foot or by boat. The easiest way to visit, summer and winter, the main ones among them - the most beautiful is En-Vau - is to go aboard one of the boats for a guided tour: tickets to be taken at the small yellow kiosk on the boules game place on the port. Information: Les Bateliers de Cassis at 04 42 01 90 83. One of the jewels between Marseille and Cassis is undoubtedly the Cosquer cave. Located in cap Morgiou, this site is unique in the world. Therefore, this underwater cave houses dozens of works painted and engraved about 27 000 and 19 000 years ago. Discovered in 1985 by a cassidian diver, it took years to mention the colourful paintings covering its walls: horses, seabirds, deer, wild cats, bison have remained in an exceptional state. Protected and for security reasons, it can't be visited. You can console yourself by buying books and photos in the village shops, or by taking a virtual tour on the website www.culture.gouv.fr

THE VERDON REGIONAL NATURE PARK
Read moreLa Bastide de Valx is the flagship of the park, as it provides you with numerous books and information sheets. With its 1,000 km of hiking trails (including the famous Blanc-Martel trail), the landscape of the Verdon Regional Nature Park opens up like a picture book in a tormented relief, and tells 250 million years of geological history. The Verdon River, the backbone of the territory, has shaped its identity. The deep cuts of the Grand Canyon rub shoulders with the fullness of the Sainte-Croix and Esparron lakes and the vast lavender plateaus of the Pays de Valensole as well as the hills of the Haut-Var. Five artificial reservoirs, the lakes of Castillon, Chaudane, Sainte-Croix, Quinson and Esparron de Verdon, contribute to the beauty of this land. Visit its beautiful website, an almost inexhaustible source of information and images of splendid landscapes that will give you, no doubt, the desire to go there to admire these unique territories and so rich naturally, with your own eyes! And for the lovers of preserved nature, let's remember that they will be able to observe or to be next to a third of the French flora, so much its floristic wealth is unique. And the richness of its fauna is not in rest. The Great Bustard, the Griffon Vulture, the Ocellated Lizard (the largest in Europe) and 22 species of bats (out of the 32 listed in France) are an example of the animal diversity present.
