ℹ️ Trolib (Calanques National Park) - La Gardiole
Highlight • Other
With its 8,500 hectares of land and 43,500 hectares of sea, it's home to exceptional biodiversity: nearly 1,000 plant species, 140 protected species, and spectacular seabeds. From the summit of Mount Carpiagne (646 m) to the Cassidaigne Canyon (-2,191 m), the park has it all!
But this treasure is fragile... Faced with pollution, fires, and mass tourism (2 to 3 million visitors per year), residents, elected officials, and associations have mobilized for over 12 years to protect it.
Today, the Park coordinates local stakeholders (state, municipalities, ONF, Conservatoire du littoral, etc.) to preserve, welcome, raise awareness, and promote sustainable development, both on land and at sea. 💚

🌲 Port-Pin: a fragile jewel to be preserved!
🙏 Please take the right steps to preserve this treasure and ensure everyone's peace and quiet!
Between Port-Miou and En-Vau, Port-Pin cove captivates with its beauty and easy access.
⛵ From the fishing port to a movie set
In the past, fishermen (the "pescadous") would land here and relax under the pine trees – hence its name.
🎡 In the 1960s and 1970s, the cove was home to a very popular open-air café. People even drove down there! Relics from that era are still visible at the far end of the beach.
🎬 In 1970, it appeared on screen in Borsalino, starring Delon and Belmondo, in the middle of a Marseille showdown.
🥾 The Blue Trail and its viewpoints
From Port-Pin, a blue-marked trail runs along the cliffs towards En-Vau.
🌄 It leads to magnificent viewpoints overlooking the sea and the pine trees, perfect for a contemplative break. Developed in 2007, it pays homage to the spirit of the place.
🛡️ A forgotten military past
During World War II, Port-Pin was a strategic area of the German defensive wall (the Südwall).
A battery is still visible above the beach. At the time, the cove was patrolled, ready to repel a landing.
🌿 Port-Pin is a natural treasure to be discovered... and preserved.
"In the evening, after the setting sun has transformed the horizon into a line of fire, the sea into a desert of sand, and one by one the stars have come to watch over us, we will return home enriched with memories that cannot be bought: smelling the salt as before, experiencing the fullness of our living flesh, tanned by the sea winds and baked in the sun, subject to the play of our muscles, while our minds still wander there—so close, yet so far—in this world apart between Marseille and Cassis."
