Ratonneau Calanque in Ile de Frioul - France
Information on the Ratonneau Calanque in Ile de Frioul (France)
Description and location of the Ratonneau Calanque in Ile de Frioul (13007)
Our opinion on the Ratonneau Calanque
Ratonneau Cove and a small gravel creek are located at Cape Cross on Ratonneau Island (Archipelago of Frioul). Completely disregarded (it is at the end of the island), this small beach offers a preserved environment overlooking the bay of Marseille. Access is a little tricky (steep path) but one is sure to find a little paradise away from the bustle of the great beaches of the island.
To get to this cove from the port of Frioul, go in the direction of St Esteve Cove and Caroline hospital. At the latter, keep going a few dozen meters to Cape Cross. The cove is located below.

Photos of the Ratonneau Calanque
The cove is located at the tip of Ratonneau Island (northeast of the archipelago of Frioul) and opposite Marseille harbour.
One can see in this photo Cape Cross and in the foreground small Ratonneau cove.
The cove is small but not very famous ... One has to arrive early in the morning to reserve it!
On the right the view of the Castle of If on Ile d'If is beautiful.
On the right but on the same island, Caroline hospital is under renovation.
