Calanque, derived from the French word meaning “rocky inlet,” encompasses the picturesque region between Marseille and Cassis, which constitutes the heart of the Calanques.
One notable calanque, Pierres Tombées, serves as a designated area for nudists. While the clientele is diverse, it also attracts a significant presence of the LGBTQ+ community.
Access to Pierres Tombées is facilitated by embarking on the renowned Calanque de Sugiton hike, which originates from Luminy University. Upon reaching Sugiton, Pierres Tombées lies as the subsequent cove to the east. While the initial 30-minute portion of the hike is relatively straightforward, the final descent necessitates enhanced agility.
