Carry-le-Rouet (Occitan: Carri lo Roet) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France.
Carry-le-Rouet is a seaside resort located 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Marseille by highway A55, then route D5, set at the foot of pine-covered hills.
From December to February every year is held the famous "oursinades", a tasting of sea urchins and various shellfish which are ultra fresh, plentiful, and delicious. Many connoisseurs take part in this festival.
