Hiking trail between la Gardiole and the calanque d’En-vau

The easiest way to get to the calanque d’En-vau starts at the junction with the route de la Gineste (D559) and the road which goes to La Gardiole, in front of the military camp of Carpiagne. It does not have any difficulty because it follows the track used by security vehicles. The second part of the path is enclosed in a small valley. Although the view is not outstanding, the shadow of the trees and the rock is very pleasant. Then when you get to the last curve you discover one of the most beautiful calanques in Marseille.
You’d better take the path from Port Miou.
