The Countryside is Beautiful!!

geis, Dec 2025

The countryside is beautiful! We had done this tour once before with a different guide. I feel as if we saw more the first time around. I was hoping for a replica of the first time I took the tour and didn’t receive it so felt a little disappointed.

Visit Calanques e-bike

Louis is a very friendly, helpful guide with a lot of knowledge about the Région. Highly recommended. Learned a lot about the beatiful Calanques.

Vincent was a great guide...

Vincent was a great guide and the tour was a uniquely fun way to explore the National Park. I would strongly recommend.

Stunning views and amazing guide!

The scenery and views along the trail and at sea are breathtaking! Something I would suggest to put at the top of your priority list! As far as the ride itself; I have only rode an e-bike once before, so I was aware that they are a little different than your standard bike when it comes to controlling. I feel that the steering is a little more sensitive. There were others in the group without prior e-bike experience and were able to do this. Upon arrival we get fitted for our bikes and helmets. Then run through the gear use and the power modes. Before setting off, our guide Vincent, had us ride the bikes to get comfortable and to make any adjustments if necessary. We then set off to the Calanques Park. When we entered, our guide pointed us to the toilettes if we needed. From there we were off to the trails! Vincent was very patient and kind as he helped explain the gears, using the lowest on the hills, and mid on flat trails. I was doing the opposite:/. Throughout the ride, he’d keep looking back to make sure everyone was following and okay… even biking to the end of the pack to guide and give encouragement. He also stopped at “turn off” points for photo opportunities, and to refill your water. He’d also let us know what was coming up next (i.e. steep incline with appropriate time at incline and steep declines) along with what gear and power mode to use to help us all prepare for it. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!! When we reached the sea, we had about 30 minutes to go to the beach, swim, hike, take photos, etc. before heading back. The ride was more difficult than I anticipated, as my mindset was that the e-bike does the work with moderate effort from the biker. I also walked 3 miles from my hotel to the meeting location. While I am thankful for the e-bike’s power to help up the steep inclines, you still need to put in the work. Quite honestly, I question if I’d be able to do it with a non powered bike… or maybe it’s a mindset. I say this not to talk anyone out of it, but to have a mindset that you’re going to feel the burn ???? However, if you find yourself getting stuck, or having problems Vincent will be right there! He kept telling the group that we had plenty of time and was so very kind and patient. He really went above what I would have expected. Afterwards he gave dining suggestions for lunch! Would I do this again? 100% Absolutely! The ride, scenic view, the grit, the thrill…I would do it over again!

Itinerary

  • Parc National des Calanques

    The Parc National des Calanques is an area of incredible beauty, diverse landscapes and unique cultural heritage. Located in the South of France, and spanning 20km of coastline between Marseille and Cassis, it’s the only European national park to encompass land, sea and urban areas.

    2 hours
  • Calanque de Sormiou

    Sormiou is the biggest Calanque of the National Park. We arrive from the top with a breathtaking view. From spring to autumn we go down all the way to the sandy beach to have a swim there. A must see!!! The rest of year we take a different route also very nice to discover others paths. We go down to Sormiou or Morgiou depending of the level of the group, the attendance and the weather conditions.

    30 minutes
  • Calanque de Morgiou

    Among the thirty Calanques in the National Park, Morgiou is the only one with Sormiou to be inhabited. Who could imagine that here is hidden a little fischermen village surronded by limestone cliffs. We often take a break here to swim or have a drink.

    We go down to Sormiou or Morgiou depending of the level of the group, the attendance and the weather conditions.

    30 minutes
  • Calanque de Callelongue

    There is an air of the end of the world here. The road that goes to Les Goudes winds for several kilometers along the seaside. Many surprises await us here. We make a break at Cap Croisette to discover a hidden port with diving center here.

    15 minutes
