Calanque de Callelongue
Dead-end fishing cove of rock-built cabanons, ringed by cliffs and a former chemical works turned harbor.
This guide to Calanque de Callelongue, a dead-end cove at the tip of Marseille's eighth arrondissement, traces how an 1849 chemical factory gave way to a fishermen's hamlet of stone cabanons after the works closed in 1884. It follows the Provençal name behind the cove and the harborside restaurant that still serves fish caught that same morning. Listen for the ruined semaphore station still watching from the hillside above the boats.
