Les Goudes

Les Goudes is the most westerly of the Calanques, an attractive spot but it is best avoided on sunny weekends when half of Marseilles likes to visit the place. There is an excellent variety of climbing here, short and easy, long and hard and all stations in between. Sunny or shady, single pitch or multi-pitch, slabby or overhanging - it has the lot. Only a smallish selection of the climbing available is described, for a more detailed overview consult the local guidebook.
Warning - Break-ins of foreign registered cars reached epidemic proportions here a few years ago. The situation has improved but care is still required. To avoid the hassle, leave nothing in the car. Parking at Les Goudes and on the University campus at Luminy are by far the safest options. For Calanque d'en Vau, parking is at Cassis (busy) or at Col du Mistral (in the middle of nowhere, but normally safe).
