A Calanque is an ancient glacial valley submerged by the sea. 140 million years ago, the entire region of Cassis, Provence and eventhe location of the Alpswere below sea level.The limestone sediments formed mainly fossilized marine organisms contributed to the formation of the limestone rocks of our creeks. The completion of Provence and the rise of the Alps took place around 30 million years ago simultaneously with the digging of the Mediterranean Sea. The massif of the creeks was really constituted as we know it today 3 million years ago. AT près l'ère quaternaire, à la suite de réchauffements, la fonte des glaces occasionne un relèvement du niveau de la mer et provoque des pluies torrentielles, froides, corrosives et acides pour les roches calcaires, dont l'écoulement va accentuer le creusement des Calanques. Cela explique la formation dans nos calanques, de nombreuses grottes et rivières souterraines mais aussi d'arches, chandelles et aiguilles qui font toute l'originalité et la beauté de notre site. La Rivière Mystérieuse (Port-Miou) In the Calanque de Port-Miou, a river circulates in a submerged cave, the main gallery of which is over 2,200 meters long, about 20 meters in diameter and descends to at least 178 meters below the level of the sea.
