Before confinement, lugging a Bose enclosure on the trails of the Calanques National Park was a simple lack of taste. It is now officially discouraged. The park located between Marseille and Cassis announces this Monday in a press release its total reopening on Tuesday, but specifies that it will have to be done in "quiet mode". "

The containment had many beneficial effects for biodiversity: "new nesting sites have been identified and certain annual plants are experiencing exceptional flowering", illustrate the Park's agents. They evoke the possibility of observing a Jean-Le-Blanc circaete or an eagle owl in the sky ... On condition that you are silent and keep your dog on a leash.

Change course towards birds

At sea, boaters may be able to see puffins or even cetaceans: two whales were filmed in the park's waters during confinement. When facing seabirds on the water, you have to change your course. And if you meet a whale or dolphins, you must follow the Pelagos sanctuary code of conduct.

In addition, it will obviously be necessary to apply barrier gestures on the trails and the beaches of the park: sitting or lying down is prohibited. No groupings of more than ten people and a distance of two meters must be respected when crossing paths. Violators may be fined.
