Une matinée formidable du début à la fin. Notre skipper et guide, Antoine, était très sympathique et nous a fait découvrir de nombreux sites historiques en chemin vers l'île. Il nous a déposés au Château d'If sans aucune contrainte de temps, ce qui m'a permis de profiter pleinement de la visite, puis est venu me chercher quand j'étais prête. Nous avons ensuite navigué le long d'autres îles et dans de petites criques rocheuses, les paysages des calanques sont magnifiques et c'était formidable de les voir d'aussi près. Nous avons jeté l'ancre dans une crique et nagé depuis le bateau, l'eau était d'une clarté remarquable. Une expérience formidable que je recommande vivement.
Thank you very much Noreen for your lovely review ! We're glad you were finally able to go swimming. See you next time! Antoine
