Has anyone visited Les Calanques in February. How does one get there from Marseille.
The are a number of tour boats which visit les Calanques but they depart from Cassis, just to the east of Marseille. There is a foot path from Marseille to Cassis which passes by the Calangues but I have heard that is may be closed this February.
You may want to contact the Office de Tourisme in Marseille and inquire about any additional options:

I visited Les Calanques in October, and the boat departed from the old harbour
(le vieux port) in Marseilles.
i think they make the trips all around the year if the weather is nice.

Inside the Musée d'Histoire de Marseille (museum of history of Marseille), in the "Jardin des Vestiges" (Garden of remains), the wall across the picture was the main quay of the harbor and the lawn is instead of the seawater. It dates back to the Ist century AD. It began soon to silt up and at the end of the Vth century, was completely full. Check with the small scale model on the previous picture.
The Stade/Velodrome is the home of Olympique Marseille. It holds 60000 spectators and is the largest club stadium in France. It was built in 1937 for the soccer championships in 1938. Just recently there were plans to make it even larger (to hold up to 80000), but there were protests about the high costs, so this plan was not accomplished.
In front of the stadium you can rollerscate, which lots of people did, when we were there on a sunday morning.
The train is a good way to reach other cities (ex: Cassis-Toulon, Paris). The TGV connects Marseille to Paris every hour, in about 3 hours travelling.
Buying a ticket at the desk requests patience (long queues). Automatic machines are available.
Station St Charles is close to coach and car Rental agencies and has a left-luggage office (4.50, 6 or 8 EUR, according to size, up to 72 hours).
In 1970, my grand father, a retired station master, offered my brothers an electrical train with the same engine !! (67002, if I remember well)
I was in France on holiday and arabic street market-places, which was in one arabic ward - near Marseille's center, was the most exciting place in France for me. I have only one photo from these place, because I was afraid that someone steal me camera.
The Cathédrale de Ste. Marie-Majeur (Marseille Cathedral or Cathédrale de la Major) is a Roman Catholic cathedral and a national monument of France.
Built between 1.852 and 1.893 in a mixture of Romanesque and Byzantine styles with a lenght of 141 m.
