About this experience

Join a sailing cruise on "La Flâneuse," a traditional tartane, and explore the Marseille coastline and Frioul Islands, which are part of the Calanques National Park. The experienced captains will guide you around the Château d'If, known from *The Count of Monte Cristo*, and through the picturesque coves of the Frioul Islands. Onboard, you can relax on beanbags and cushions made from repurposed sails. The cruise includes a stop in a cove where you can enjoy drinks, including the local Provençal lemon syrup "PAC." Swimming is available during this stop, and masks and snorkels are provided for those interested in snorkeling around the boat. This experience is suitable for those looking for a leisurely day on the water but may not be ideal for individuals seeking a fast-paced adventure.
