Calanque
A calanque (from the Corsican and Occitan words of pre-Indo-European origin calanca with meaning "inlet") is a steep-walled inlet, cove, or bay that is developed in limestone, dolomite, or other carbonate strata and found along the Mediterranean coast. A calanque is a steep-sided valley formed within karstic regions either by fluvial erosion or the collapse of the roof of a cave that has been subsequently partially submerged by a rise in sea level.
Cosquer Cave
The Cosquer cave is located in the Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille, France, not very far from Cap Morgiou. The entrance to the cave is located 37 m underwater, due to the rise of the Mediterranean in Paleolithic times. It was discovered by diver Henri Cosquer in 1985, but its contents were not made public until 1991, when three divers became lost in the cave and died.
Calanque de Sugiton
The Calanque de Sugiton is one of the numerous calanques located between Marseille and Cassis. While quite small, Sugiton is perhaps the most known of all Marseille calanques, simply because it can be easily accessed by hikers, and because it is open to tourists even during hot season, unlike most calanques. A small beach can be found at the extremity of the calanque.
Calanque de Morgiou
The Calanque de Morgiou is one of the biggest calanques located between Marseille and Cassis. Formerly a fishing port, it is famous for the gigantic tuna fishing organized there in 1622, when the king Louis XIII paid a visit to Marseille. It still houses small fishing cabins, but they're now used for tourism rather than fishing. The Calanque de Morgiou is also famous for the Cosquer cave, an underwater grotto containing numerous cave drawings dating back as far as 27,000 years BP.
Calanque de Sormiou
The Calanque de Sormiou is one of the big Calanques between Marseille and La Ciotat. It is famous for its climbing spots. Access by car is restricted due to the risk of forest fires.
Massif des Calanques
The Massif des Calanques is a wild and rugged terrain stretching from the ninth arondissement of Marseille to the east towards Cassis, spanning 20 km in length and 4 km in width along the coast. Its highest peak is Mont Puget at 565m. This is one of France's great natural beauty areas.
Baumettes Prison
Baumettes prison (also known as the Centre pénitentiaire de Marseille) is a prison in the 9th arrondissement of Marseille. The prison is named after the district of Les Baumettes where it was constructed between 1933 and 1939. This area was outside the city but has been absorbed as the city expanded. The prison covers some 30,000 m² and contains 1,380 cells housing approximately 1,700 prisoners, mostly men, around a quarter of whom are not French.
9th arrondissement of Marseille
The 9th arrondissement of Marseille is one of 16 districts or arrondissement of Marseille. This district is also the largest in the city. The 9th district borders the 7th and 8th and the general region is known to be very prestigious.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Morgiou.
