Calanque de Marseilleveyre

This guide to the Calanque de Marseilleveyre in Marseille explains how thousands of years of wind, not water, piled sand against limestone cliffs to build this beach, and what frost and sun did to crack the rock long before it had a name. It follows the nineteenth-century quarrymen who cut into these cliffs to ship sand off for Marseille's roads, sleeping in huts with no water or power. Short-toed eagles and Bonelli's eagles still ride the same gusts above the trail behind you.
