Definition
A narrow inlet or cove with steep rocky sides, particularly common along the Mediterranean coast of southern France and Spain.
Etymology
From French 'calanque,' ultimately from Provençal dialect, possibly influenced by 'calane' or geological terms describing deep water passages carved by erosion.
Kelly Says
The calanques near Marseille are so stunning that they're protected as a national park, and they were likely used by smugglers and pirates in the Mediterranean's turbulent past.
