Calanques, yoga and crustaceans

The Calanques mountain range is a miracle of nature tucked away between
Marseille and Cassis. With the pebbles and soft sand of its beaches, small
coves and turquoise water, this jewellery case of biodiversity looks like
something straight out of a picture postcard. It’s the perfect place to enjoy
some sunshine, do some yoga by the sea, explore the ocean floor, or throw Le Red Lion
yourself into a water-sport, such as kayaking. Whether it’s hiking you’re after,
or simply a chance to enjoy the natural landscape and clean water, this
remarkable spot has just what you need. Le Red Lion is the place to be in Marseille!

Cross the road and sit down on the lawn,
