It's not the first time Jacquemus has invited us to enjoy his beloved Marseille. (Albeit from a distance, for those far from Europe.) The scenes from his first menswear showing at nearby Calanque de Sormiou still feature in our daydreams
and the designer has frequently referenced his hometown over the years in his work and collections
With European summer heavy on our minds (and in our hearts)
now is a great time for those of us dreaming of future visits to plan
And you know we're adding Jacquemus's Marseille recommendations to our travel wish lists

Marseille
the Calanques National Park is one of France’s most breathtaking spots
Here’s everything you need to plan a visit
‘Calanques’ in French translates roughly as ‘rocky inlet’. But the calanques of Marseille aren’t just any rocks: they’re staggeringly beautiful limestone cliffs that spill into turquoise coves
like the Mediterranean’s (much warmer) answer to the Norwegian fjords
A total of 26 make up the Calanques National Park (Parc National des Calanques)
a 200-square-mile treasure trove for hikers
Sprawling across Marseille and Cassis, Europe’s largest peri-urban park seduces in all seasons
Every Marseillais has their calanque of choice
Whether you’re craving a killer hike
a cool dip or a charming port to amble around
this handy guide will help you find yours – along with some advice on how to tread lightly to protect the park’s precious flora and fauna
📍 The best things to do in Marseille😋 The best restaurants in Marseille
On the southern tip of Marseille, this quaint fishing port is the gateway to the Calanques National Park and a great starting point for easy ambles or epic hikes. Reward your efforts with a bite at Grand Bar des Goudes or a drink at nearby bar 20,000 Lieues
This lovely little port is well worth a visit: embark on the 50-minute hike down from Luminy
which is prettier than the fire road from Les Baumettes
and reward yourself with a dip. Or take in the sweeping view from above on a hike to Cap Morgiou
where you’ll also get the chance to check out the prehistoric Cosquer cave paintings at Anse de la Triperie
With its picturesque white cliffs and blindingly blue coves, it’s no surprise that Sugiton is the most popular calanque. It’s best to avoid Sugiton in summer, even if the new reservation system is helping to keep crowds down
To visit, take the fire road from Luminy to a well-marked trail
The Belvédère viewpoint is very much worth the detour
This snorkelling paradise was home to Jacques Cousteau’s first scuba dives. It’s Marseille’s largest calanque and also boasts a beautiful sandy beach. For hikers, the prettier and fastest route leaves from Les Baumettes. To score a parking spot, book a table at Le Château (open April to September) or arrive in the early months of the off-season
An easy 50-minute hike from Callelongue (the last stop on the 20 bus), this idyllic turquoise cove is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Bring a picnic, or some euros if you want to dine at Chez Le Belge
a laidback beach shack just steps from the sea
The skinny port and ancient limestone quarry at Port Miou are just a 20-minute walk from the village of Cassis
An hour more takes you to the soaring cliffs
remote sandy beach and neon-blue waters of En Vau
which have earned it a reputation as one of the most beautiful calanques
Not technically part of the Calanques National Park
this island archipelago is nevertheless worth a shout: its calanques are the closest to Marseille’s city centre
with boats leaving most days from the Vieux-Port. Highlights include the medieval Château d’If prison
and the rocky coves of Pomègues if you want more peace and quiet
Many calanques are accessible by bus. Take line 19 to Madrague de Montredon for Les Goudes and Croix de Marseilleveyre
or line 22 to Les Baumettes for Morgiou and Sormiou
You can drive to Les Goudes throughout the year
Morgiou and Sormiou are open to cars in the off-season
or you can beat their summer parking ban with a restaurant reservation
the Route de la Gineste’s stunning switchbacks are gorgeous any time of year
Les Goudes is the gateway of the Calanques, and from April to October, Marseille’s public ferry La Navette is the best way to beat the summer traffic. For the Îles du Frioul, the year-round Le Bateau express shuttle ferries passengers daily
Work up a sweat before your swim with a kayak or paddleboard rental. Raskas Kayak offers guided tours for all levels from Les Goudes or Cassis. Rent a paddle board from 1,2,3, Kayak to spend a day exploring Les Goudes
Photograph: ShutterstockThere’s no better start than a sunrise in the Calanques. A short walk east of Les Goudes, the graffiti-splashed Blockhaus des Goudes – a German WWII bunker – is a perfect perch to watch the sky light up in orange and pink. Grab a café at the century-old Grand Bar des Goudes or breakfast at Feel Goudes
Head towards the tiny Callelongue port to follow the coastal GR 98 trail for three hours to Sormiou. Replenish with grilled fish on Le Château’s terrasse
Take a post-lunch nap on the sandy beach or a dip in the turquoise cove.
Reserve a private skipper via Click n’ Boat to pick you up for an afternoon sail
Ask to drop anchor at the blindingly blue Île Riou coves
Back in Les Goudes, kick back with a beer at 20,000 Lieues
the lune illuminates an easy amble to Marseilleveyre – ideal for a moonlight swim on sultry summer nights
Photograph: ShutterstockMost people begin their hikes in Calanques National Park at Luminy
or Madrague de Montredon (all accessible by bus.) There are hundreds of different trails to amble
clamber up to Croix de Marseilleveyre (the name roughly translates to ‘see Marseille’)
Whether departing from Montredon or Pastré
the jaw-dropping scenery and steep sections will make your heart race
Set aside around three hours for a round trip.
Forget the picnic and pair your hike with a tasty sit-down meal. From Luminy, descend 50 minutes to Bar Nautic for fresh fish alongside the picturesque port at Calanque de Morgiou. Return back via Les Baumettes to Chez Ze to fill up on wood-fired pizza and Provençal fare
it’s cash only at this secluded spot.
You can visit all three of Cassis’s calanques on one moderate hike
take the aptly named Avenue des Calanques to the slender Port-Miou
Follow the red & white GR 98-51 markers along the sea to Port Pin
A steep descent gives way to a flatter path to En Vau
The hike takes roughly an hour and fifteen minutes each way from Port-Miou
Photograph: ShutterstockThere are a few things you should know before setting out for your Calanques adventure
If you’re visiting from June 1 to September 30, check the national park’s website
Trails can be closed for fire risk if it’s too hot or the mistral wind is blowing
so avoid hiking around midday in the summer
and be sure to bring lots of water and snacks
Trails meander through cool shade and blazing sun and you never know when it might get windy
Though a sturdy pair of sneakers will suffice
you might want to think about hiking boots and poles for the tougher trails
And even if you’re headed down to the beaches
since the limestone rocks can be quite slippery.
The trails are marked by coloured swatches painted on rocks
They can be confusing to spot at times – don’t hesitate to ask a local for help
Or pick up an IGN Les Calanques map to get a great lay of the land
Splurge on brunch and sunset cruises on a Levantin catamaran – or rent a budget-friendly boat to yourselves on Click n’ Boat
The closest Marseille ports to the Calanques are Pointe-Rouge and Les Goudes
Check that your skipper has a green pass for park access
a new system to protect this fragile maritime reserve

camping isn’t allowed in the Calanques National Park
But you can book a stay amidst the Calanques to disconnect from the city bustle and truly connect to its natural splendour.
Photograph: ShutterstockSince the Calanques National Park was established in 2012
The park now welcomes over 2 million visitors annually
When combined with the city’s increased pollution and fire risk
this makes the park’s incredible biodiversity more fragile than ever
try to avoid the crowded calanques (like Sugiton and Sormiou) in the summer
and be sure to pick up your trash (that includes cigarette butts)
And if you’re thinking of visiting by sea
kayaks and paddleboards offer a less intrusive way to explore the coves than travelling by boat

SEARCHThe global authority in superyachting
German studio Structurelab Architects has released a modular marina concept designed for the Calanque of Sormiou, one of the largest inlets in Southern France.
With an expandable area of 400 square metres, the floating structure – known as Lotus Marina – consists of several modules that could function as hotel rooms, commercial spaces or outdoor areas. An open restaurant on the water's edge is designed as the major draw for visiting yachts, though the central area of the marina would be the "social hub" with its event space and bar.
The leisure spaces would be combined with "eco-friendly anchoring methods" to protect the surrounding marine ecosystem and seabed, as well as photovoltaic panels and a rainwater recycling system to reduce energy and water consumption.
Recycled materials would comprise the structure itself, including 100 per cent recycled plastic and wood "specifically developed for marine environments".
Lotus Marina is engineered for sub-24-metre vessels, though designer Jürgen Schubert told BOAT International that the project is "very easily scalable", as well as having easy application to other geographical regions.
The concept was first submitted as an entry in the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous, organised by Monaco Marina Management.

for one day after the season had officially ended
Simon Porte Jacquemus introduced something new: the gadjo
a hunky outsider archetype from the south whose wardrobe spans knit tanks and teensy bathing briefs to airy suit jackets and shorts
“I don’t think there is this Mediterranean boy in the market,” the designer said
Jacquemus’s first collection for boys/guys/men made a big
free-spirited splash from the Calanque de Sormiou
a staggeringly beautiful beach enclave on the outskirts of Marseille
The remote destination was a far cry from central Paris
with cars navigating steep winding roads while passing locals on foot in their swimsuits
the runway was the shoreline and the first row was demarcated by towels on the sand
The catchy hip-hop hook of the first track
while Jacquemus has been gradually turning up the heat on his women’s collections
he’s wasted no time asserting his men’s vision as virile
with muscled bodies giving shape to relaxed jeans
and a wide array of fine and heavy-gauge knits (the designer receives support from the Woolmark Company)
“But I also think this men’s collection is like the beginning of the women’s—so naive
Was that something else the warm Provençal flavor—the mellow yellow tones
almost cinematic depiction of young men in woven ties and short shorts
Or the slightly ironic view of Marseille street fashion
“There are a lot of clichés and I tried to have humor—but without laughing at them
Marseille is his hometown; his choice of models reflects the fitness
and masculinity messaging he shares on Instagram; and the idea of a “swim parka” could only come from satisfying his own wardrobe needs
“I am not going to be the designer with the ruffled shirt and the super-experimental pieces,” he pointed out
“But I will try to put my signature on everyday looks.” Just as important: The line’s commercial positioning
as he underscored that the pricing will be ultra-competitive
and low-cut shirts will not be out of reach; likewise the dog tag bracelets and branded leather neck accessories—easy entry points that he’s yet to propose for women
You can bet the Jacquemus girls will be among the first shoppers
So consider this debut a success not just because he has already identified a persuasive
but because it seems to come so naturally to him
“I just wanted to have a good moment and bring you here
It was like a vacation moment of the Jacquemus world.”
Many of the Calanques are actually closed in the height of summer
Sometimes people are allowed through to hike
but cars are banned from June 1st to September 30th
when the weather is amazing before the heat and Autumnal rain arrives
But it’s worth saying that the Calanques are beautiful any time of the year and well worth a visit (if you’re allowed in)

Le Lunch is open from May 30th each year until October 15th
It’s a more low-key option than Le Château
although it’s still pricey (it’s a captive market
there isn’t anywhere else to go in the area)
Eat some nice fresh fish or seafood overlooking the sea

Remember that all the Calanques can get extraordinarily busy
If you don’t book a table at one of the restaurants
particularly as these places are not open all day
you can always buy a beer or a soft drink from the bar to go with a picnic
There are no natural freshwater sources in the Calanques
Parking is limited – even when you are allowed to drive down to the bottom – and on occasion you may have to park at the top and walk down
Take sturdy shoes and don’t forget your swimsuit
sun cream and towel for the well-earned swim at the bottom
People adore the small little fishing town of Cassis
It has a great beach (with seaside restaurants)
chic shops and wonderful ice cream parlours
Parking can be a nightmare so either get there early in the day
or use the Park and Ride service from the top of the hill
Make sure you have change to pay for the parking and bus tickets
It’s a great place to idle away a few hours
Swapped a hectic life in the city of London for an easy-going southern French vibe

"Other than the Arnavaux market – a sort of Rungis – Marseille didn't have a covered food market," said Julien Fabre

“I could lie – it would make a beautiful story
eh?” Stories – deeply personal ones – have informed Jacquemus’s designs ever since he established his namesake brand almost nine years ago
He describes his womenswear collections as “biographies” – their very bedrock is the memory of his late mother
who was killed in a car accident when the designer was 18 – and the menswear collection is a continuation of this legacy

“A year ago I fell in love and it pushed me to speak about men and realise my first menswear collection – it was very spontaneous,” he told Vogue when we went to visit him at a studio in Paris three days before the show
there was something of Philippe Halsman’s portrayal of Jean Cocteau in the 28-year-old designer that day as he calmly managed numerous tasks
answering questions from his core team beavering away in a corner of the room
Jacquemus slipped in and out of his own designs
“It’s really important to me to be a menswear designer who wears his own clothes,” he says
“I want to be sincere in all I am sharing and selling
so we are starting with low prices [around £170 for a polo shirt]
the same strategy as how I started with the women’s – low prices

Swimwear has a prominent role – blue trunks are paired with a billowing white trench coat and surf shorts are cut from fabric bearing a Matisse-inspired leaf motif in orange and yellow
But highlights of the collection are a shirt printed with illustrations of sunflowers (Jacquemus’s favourite flower) and a sweater that looks like it has been cobbled together from patches of traditional bleus de travail
which ensure the collection is the gust of fresh Provençal air one would hope for
Alastair NicolJacquemus may be based in the French capital
but his heart will always be in his hometown of Mallemort which he steals away to at every opportunity
“I come from a family of farmers who are all in the south of France,” he says
“In the same barn where we were once doing fruit and vegetables we are now doing Jacquemus delivery worldwide – my father
aunt and best friend are all working for the brand from there.”

to serve as a reminder that creative or artistic directorship of a major house is also an option
there have been offers to substantiate the rumours

Comparé aux autres sports de glisse
il ne permet pas de trouver des sensations fortes mais plutôt de découvrir la mer autrement
en prenant un peu de hauteur pour observer les fonds marins
laissez vous tenter par une sortie entre amis au coucher de soleil
quand la mer se calme et que tous les touristes sont partis des plages… C’est à couper le souffle
c’est qu’il se pratique aussi en famille
avec un petit peu d’équilibre
parmi les meilleurs spots de Marseille pour pratiquer le paddle se trouvent les calanques
L’eau turquoise et les fonds marins sont absolument incontournables car c’est ici que se trouve toute la beauté marine du littoral marseillais
N’oubliez donc pas masque et tuba pour aller nager un peu et observer cette fois de l’intérieur la faune et la flore du parc national des Calanques
Lorsque vous êtes à une calanque
il est facile d’en rejoindre d’autres par la mer puisqu’elles sont placées en enfilade
Découvrez quelques exemples d’itinéraires :
Puisqu’avec le paddle on ne recherche pas les vagues mais au contraire le calme de la mer, les côtes marseillaises sont parfaites pour une petite balade. Partez du Vallon des Auffes qui vous séduira avec son petit port de pêche pittoresque
Un vrai décor de carte postale en plein cœur de la ville
Continuez votre promenade et vous tomberez sur l’Anse de Malmousque
Admirez les maisons du bord de mer car vous ne réussirez pas à disposer d’un point de vue comparable sur les côtes marseillaises autrement qu’en bateau
vous pourrez atteindre l’Anse de Maldormé et de la Fausse Monnaie et le célèbre hôtel-restaurant cinq étoiles « Le Petit Nice »
D’ici vous avez un superbe panorama sur les îles d’Endoume et de Gaby
Pourquoi ne pas les rejoindre si vous en avez l’envie et encore la force
Ou du côté des plages de la Pointe Rouge
vous pouvez tenter les plages du sud de la ville entre le Prado et le rond point de David jusqu’aux Goudes

disposent de magnifiques plages très proches de leur centre ville et hyper accessibles en voiture et transports en communs
dont certaines sont classées dans le parc national
Beaucoup de clubs proposent de la location de paddle au départ des plages principales
mais aussi de canoe kayak pour des balades improvisées le long du littoral
C’est vraiment magique à la mi-saison avant la grande effervescence de l’été
L’un de nos spots préférés : une balade à la calanque de Figuerolles réputée pour ses couleurs où se mêlent le turquoise des eaux et l’ocre des falaises
prenez à gauche pour arriver à la grotte de Figuerolles
Utilisée par les grimpeurs pour s’entraîner
Continuez ensuite la balade vers le Bec de l’Aigle
ce pic rocheux surplombant la mer et La Ciotat
Une petite pause s’impose ici pour observer les côtes d’un point de vue inédit
Vous pouvez alors soit faire demi-tour si la promenade vous a suffi
soit continuer votre chemin jusqu’à la Calanque du Mugel et son parc qui abrite une très belle et dense végétation
A l’ouest de Marseille, la Côte Bleue offre un paysage très différent du littoral des calanques
Vous pouvez partir de l’école de voile de Carry-le-Rouet pour remonter jusqu’à Méjean
Vous passerez alors par différentes criques aussi belles les unes que les autres où l’eau sera si limpide que vous pourrez observer sans problème les fonds marins
N’oubliez pas de vous munir d’un masque et d’un tuba pour vraiment en profiter
