Carry le Rouet

The Bouches du Rhone Departement - Population : 6,041 inh.

30 km. west of Marseille.

Carry Le Rouet is a charming seaside resort located just 30 km from Marseille.
Situated at the foot of pine hills, Carry is in the heart of the Blue Coast which stretches from Marseille to Martigues and is one of the Bouches du Rhône destinations which offer the most beautiful beaches in the department.

Sand (sometimes), pebbles and gravel (most of the time), they are easily accessible, including for families (often loaded ...) and are renowned for

the clarity of the water.
Carry Le Rouet welcomes many Marseille residents who take up their summer quarters here.

The most famous of them is undoubtedly the late Fernandel (great actor of cinema of Provencal origin who played in most of Pagnol) who built his family house above the beaches of the port in the 1930s.

He adored Carry and his good humor enlivened the village square with memorable games of pétanque. A stele honors his memory today on the square.

You will appreciate the charming little port which makes the picturesque of Carry. Boats and fishing boats wisely sail alongside sailors and planners.
The quays are bordered by numerous restaurants with their large terraces, you will certainly find it difficult to resist their fish specialties perfumed with the flavors of olive oil and herbs from the garrigue.

If you can do not miss from December to February, the famous "Oursinades" ... it is a tasting of sea urchins and shells (ultra-fresh and in abundance), which are excellent here and attract many lovers of everything the Department.
Very beautiful walks are to be done on foot by the sea, you can also take a boat trip from Carry to discover the famous coves of the blue coast and Cassis.

The ledge which follows the coast from the port to Sausset les Pins offers a superb view of the sea.
It brings together sumptuous villas scattered over the wooded hills and fragrant pine forests.

It should be noted that Carry is fortunate to reunite on the same site an exceptional nature (still preserved from the excesses of town planning) with seaside, beaches, pine forest and small friendly port (with good restaurants) only 30 km from Marseille and less than 1 hour from an international airport ... It is really ideal ... but hush don't spread it too much, after there will be too many people!
