From the port of Cassis (or from Marseilles) you can take a boat ride to go out to gawk at the Calanques - fjord-like inlets with high white rocks on both sides. The rock layers are very distinct features - reminded me of the geography lessons I had in school. The great thing is they are also accessible by land and have become recreational areas for hiking, swimming and rock-climbing.
At Cassis, you can wait at the quay here for scheduled boat rides. We went for one that took us to see eight calanques, all quite different.

Great place for a picnic!
Sphinx?
