Bouches-du-Rhône is a department in the south of France named after the mouth of the Rhône River. It is renowned for it's capital city, Marseille and it's Calanques which were recently (April 2012) declared National Parks due to their uniqueness.
At a caving point of view, this region has some notable underwater caves like the Cosquer cave.

Grottocenter has a detailed cave inventory of this region with 562 caves.

Thanks to him and to all the GrottoCenter's contributors.
