Calanque de Morgiou
Calanque de Morgiou, 13009 Marseille
Fishing inlet whose submerged sea cave hides Ice Age paintings sealed for millennia.
This guide to Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille traces the discovery of the Cosquer Cave, a passage the diver Henri Cosquer found thirty-seven meters underwater in 1985 and kept secret for six years. Inside wait painted horses, ibex, bison and hundreds of hand stencils, some missing fingers, left by ice-age artists more than twenty-seven thousand years ago. Look toward the cliff face above the port, where the hidden entrance sits below the waterline you can see from the boats.
