Castel Viel
Cassis, France
Castel Viel in the heart of the Calanques Park of Marseille
Castel Viel is a superb wall located sheltered from the mistral in the Calanques Park of Marseille. The rock is hollowed out with niches sheltering a profusion of coral and anthozoans. With a lighthouse, you can admire the beautiful red and yellow hues that blend harmoniously.
This site is also home to groupers and sometimes John Dory fish, although their observation requires a delicate search. At a depth of about 15 meters, an overhang hosts many nudibranchs and maybe even a Spanish dancer.
At 9 meters, a small L-shaped tunnel, rich in concretions, will dazzle you with its natural beauty.
