Essential Hiking Tips in Southern France: Hidden Gems Marseille Travel Guides Miss
Endless Summer Vibes in Southern France ☀️
Marseille’s crown jewel? The breathtaking Calanques National Park! 🏞️
This world-famous hiking trail deserves a spot on every adventurer’s bucket list 🌍
After scouring every guide on Xiaohongshu, I noticed some crucial details were missing~
Having conquered the entire trail myself, I’m sharing 3️⃣ game-changing tips!!!
1️⃣ Skip the usual Luminy PN des Calanques bus stop—opt for Plage Sauvage de Morgiou instead! Starting here and making your way toward the dazzling Cap Sugiton bay creates a far more rewarding journey.

Here’s why: The afternoon sun ☀️ bathes Sugiton in golden light, while Morgiou gets morning sunshine (but turns shady later). This strategic route guarantees dreamy lighting for your photos!
2️⃣ Fair warning: The Morgiou ▶️ Sugiton path isn’t for the faint-hearted! (Think vertical ladders and heart-pounding cliff edges). Newbies should play it safe and enjoy Sugiton’s main trail—it delivers all the wow-factor views without the white-knuckle moments 🛣️.
3️⃣ Night owl alert! If Morgiou’s your final stop, watch the clock—late-night buses vanish, leaving you with an hour-long trek to civilization. Stick to simpler routes and soak up the thrill of watching fearless French cliff divers at Sugiton (a perfect afternoon activity!). While routes like Cosquer Cave or the sunset castle offer stunning vistas, their brutal inclines make them experts-only territory. Casual hikers won’t miss out by skipping these!
