Descripción

The Îles du Frioul are a small archipelago off the coast of Marseille. The Château d’If, featured in The Count of Monte Cristo, is one of its most iconic landmarks. The islands are part of the Calanques National Park and are protected under the Natura 2000 conservation program.

Most interesting for birdwatching is the most southern island of Pomègues. This 2,5 km long island has a rugged landscape with great views. The rocks and vegetation have been sculpted by the seaspray, creating extraordinary shapes in some areas. The easy walking trail starts at the end of the Berry seawall and ends at the Cavaux military fortification. It is marked with geology, vegetation, and fauna signs all along its length. It will take you 45 minutes to walk the trail. The best time to explore the area is between April and June, when flowers bloom and colour the rocks with pink, yellow and purple.

Français: Dressé face à Marseille, l’archipel du Frioul est composé de quatre îles : Pomègues, Ratonneau, Tiboulen et If. Le climat aride englobant l’archipel, engendre l’apparition d’une flore rare voire endémique. Une faune composée d’oiseaux maritimes est également présente sur les îles, comme le goéland leucophée, alias le « gabian » pour les Provençaux.
