Climbing and sailing stay in the Calanques of Cassis

Description

Come and experience 4 incredible days of sailing and multi pitch climbing in the mythical Calanque of En Vau near Cassis.

Departing from the port of l'Estaque in Marseille (where you can leave your car), we will embark for four days that are both intense and relaxing. During navigation, you will be able to admire the grandiose landscapes of the Calanques which will pass quietly before us, while learning navigation techniques. Climbing will be done for the day on the magnificent crags of En Vau. There, you will learn and/or revisit certain progression techniques through a gentle and caring pedagogy.

The calanque of En Vau is certainly the most beautiful of the Marseille and Cassis calanques. The vertical limestone cliffs surround the turquoise-blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and the historic routes that run through them are logically set in an exceptional atmosphere.

These adventures are enhanced by occasional swimming and convivial meals.

We will spend the nights on the boat, anchoring in Port Miou calanque near Cassis.

About the boat: Marie Lutin II is a 13-meter ketch (2 masts). An ocean-going and expedition sailboat, it will surprise you with its comfort both at sea and at anchor in the creeks. Its numerous stowage spaces, spacious cabins and central saloon make it an ideal base camp for sharing and relaxing after the day's activities. 3 double cabins are available on board, as well as a fully equipped galley and shower room. Snorkeling equipment is available on board. The flush-deck offers plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery and the navigation.

You are in for three days you won't soon forget!

On the same boat, I also offer 3 days of climbing and sailing in the Calanques. But also more classicaly a 4-day or 3-day climbing courses in the Drôme of Provence and a 4-day climbing and acroyoga course in the Baronnies (also possible for a weekend).
