Calanque de Figuerolles, Marseille

A geological formation like a Mediterranean fjord, found almost exclusively along the southern coast of France-offering breathtaking views, noted by numerous magazines, tourism guides, and the painter Braque. The family who has been lucky enough to live there for generations runs a restaurant and hotel to share the experience of their beautiful surroundings and leave behind the pressures of time for a while. They have declared themselves the République Indépendante de Figuerolles, the Independent Republic of Figuerolles, where citizens drive on the left, the time difference from France is one-hour.
