About
The Calanque de Port-Miou is one of the three big calanques of Cassis in the French Riviera. It is long and narrow, and thus was suitable for establishing a marina. The name Port-Miou is an approximate transcription in French orthography of the Occitan Pòrt-Melhor (the "best port") which is locally pronuncied /pwɔʁ.mi.ju/.
