Where? : 13600 La Ciotat Franc e

There is no need to have green fingers to fall for Mugel’s botanical park. Its agave and cactus bordered walks and its high-climbing small paths are a perfect summary of Mediterranean colours and odours. Eponymous inlet and its cristal-clear water can flabbergast the most bored traveller. It is facing the Île Verte (the only wooded island in the Bouches du Rhône), an island you should sail to in the shuttle or canoes just to explore its many coves and calanques. Because La Ciotat also owns its calanques. The most famous, secretly kept by the inhabitants, is called Figuerolles, located at the bottom of the Eagle Beak (Bec de l’Aigle). (EF)
