Calanques and/or Verdon Area Recommendations?

• Hi folks - I would very much appreciate any recommendations or pearls of wisdom for climbs, places to stay, places to eat, off-day activities, etc. for late May in Calanques and/or Verdon.  The OmegaRoc guides don't seem very helpful for identifying classics (though perhaps they're good for navigating your way to climbs?), but I also just ordered the Rockfax Côte d’Azur book by Chris Craggs and am eagerly awaiting it.  

For climbing, I'm looking mainly for bolted multipitch classics in the 5b-6b+ / 5.9 - 5.10 range, with an emphasis on great views, but super classics that are a bit harder might also be possible if a follower can aid through cruxes (or potentially be hauled if it's a short section).  I onsight around 6c+ / 5.11c, but my partner redpoints only around 6a+ / 10b.  I can bring a 70m or twin 60m's, many draws, and a light rack (would prefer not to bring a rack, and probably can't pack bigger than a 50mm/2" piece).

For the Verdon, you will want to stay in Palud. At your grade range, check out the Dalles Grises area for nice but not too committing multi-pitch sport routes in the 5+ to 6b+ range. Also, make sure you get on Wide is Love at the Belvedere sector. It is only one pitch that you rap into, but it is pretty exposed and is one of the best 6as you will ever do.
My Calanques experience is pretty limited, so I’ll let someone else opine on that. 

Adam, I have camped in Cassis and climbed multiple routes while there.  I looked up a more current set of information for you and found Joe Stock’s website which I would recommend you read. Very good information for you!

It indeed is a beautiful location and the town of Cassis is quite engaging and delightful.

Thank you both very much for the beta!!

i have a verdon guidebook you can borrow if youd like. it is somewhat helpful to know how to read french. for calanques we bought the guide book which was usefull for the gps pins for finding the crag.  

edit: we may have been on HCS on the same day haha

For Calanques, I stayed in Les Baumettes and Sormiou, which provided more convenient access to multipitch classics, mostly accessed from the west and north from Redon. At the time, those areas also had more diverse and affordable lodging and food than Cassis, if not the sea-side village ambiance.

For day off, we hit restaurants, soccer games, the beach towns, and even Verdon and Moustiers St Marie. For history, Chateu d'If, and Avignon.

Thank you!!  Kevin, that was a great day to be on HCS!  that summit is awesome.  which guide book did you use for verdon?  i might try to buy a copy and brush up on my french...

Ryan, what were the multi classics you ended up on?  Any you particularly loved (or hated)?

Located in between is Mont St. Victoire near Aix. Good rock. Worth a look. 

Do check, but twin 60m ropes for the Verdon abseils was my experience. Knots in the bottom, etc.

When i was there the locals were using single ropes + a 6mm tag line.
