Between the impressive cliffs of the Devenson calanque and those of En-Vau, the hidden gem of the Oule cave awaits, offering an incredible natural spectacle that few visitors have the chance to admire. Accessible only by swimming from the sea, this mysterious cave is one of the hidden wonders of the Calanques, a treasure waiting to be discovered by adventurous souls during their journey with Eden Boat.
The Oule calanque is nestled in a remote and wild area of the Calanques, surrounded by towering cliffs where nature reigns supreme. This secluded spot is challenging to reach by land, making it a true gem for those seeking to escape the beaten path. If you’re looking for a unique experience away from the crowds, this calanque is the perfect choice.
The cliffs around the calanque soar up to 70 meters high, creating a majestic and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The name "Oule" comes from the Provençal word "oulo," meaning cauldron or pot, a fitting description of the powerful waves that crash against the cliffs during storms. This dramatic natural spectacle is breathtaking, but on calm and sunny days, the calanque reveals its serene beauty, making it an ideal stop for a refreshing swim after a pleasant boat trip.
The true jewel of this calanque is undoubtedly the semi-submerged marine cave of Oule. Accessible only from the sea, this cave offers a unique challenge for those who enjoy swimming in calm waters. Once inside, the interplay of light and reflections on the cave walls creates an enchanting scene, turning the water into a kaleidoscope of turquoise and emerald green hues. It's a magical moment that can only be experienced by diving into these crystal-clear waters.
While experienced kayakers often explore this spot, brave swimmers can also venture into the cave for a truly unique experience, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Eden Boat offers boat trips that include swim stops near this magical place, allowing you to dive straight from the boat and get close to this fascinating cave.
