The “telescaphe”, an old and unusual way to discover the seabed

In 1967, the telescaphe was created in the calanque of Callelongue. This machine which is a mix between a cable car and a spacesuit allowed to see the seabed from the callelongue to the island of Maïre.
After one year the telescaphe was unfortunately abandoned but now tourists and curious people can see the remains of the craft and its mechanism.
