Le Cote Bleu is part of southwestern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Provence, between Marseilles and the Étang de Berre.
About 22km long, the coast consists of a chain of limestone coves, framed with tall, elegant Aleppo pines, with a network of walking trails and charming fishing villages that turn into holiday towns in the summer.
The coves hide small secluded pebbled beaches that can be reached on foot or by car. The waters around the sandy Cape Couronne are part of the Parc Marin de la Côte Bleue which protects cape’s rich marine life. The Blues Coast railway runs from Marseille all along the coast, over a series of ancient viaducts. The train is a scenic and comfortable alternative for travelling through the Cote Bleu.
