Overview

The most-requested shore excursion from Marseille, done privately: Aix-en-Provence and Cassis in one day, with your driver waiting at the foot of your ship and a guaranteed return before all-aboard. Stroll the Cours Mirabeau and the fountains of Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne's elegant city, then take the Route des Crêtes above Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in France, down to the fishing harbour of Cassis for lunch by the water. On the way back, a photo stop at Notre-Dame de la Garde if time allows. Private Mercedes for your group only, timed to your ship's schedule. No shuttle, no queue, no crowd: your ship, your pace, and the best of Provence.

Itinerary

1
Cours Mirabeau
2 hours
Leave the port for Aix-en-Provence, the elegant city of Paul Cézanne. Stroll the Cours Mirabeau under its plane trees, past the 17th-century mansions and the mossy Fontaine Moussue, to the grand Fontaine de la Rotonde. Wander the old town's squares, the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville and, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, the colourful Provençal market. Taste a calisson, the city's famous almond sweet.
2
Route des Cretes
20 min
Drive the spectacular Route des Crêtes along the clifftops of Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in mainland France, with breathtaking views over the bay of Cassis and the Calanques National Park. Your driver stops at the best viewpoint for photos.
3
Cassis
2 hours
Arrive in Cassis, the most charming fishing harbour of Provence. Enjoy free time for lunch on the quays, where colourful boats bob below the château and the terraces serve fresh seafood and the local white wine. Walk to the Plage de la Grande Mer or along the harbour to the lighthouse.
4
Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde
20 min
On the way back to your ship, if time allows, a final photo stop at Notre-Dame de la Garde, the golden basilica watching over Marseille, for a 360° view of the Old Port, the Frioul islands and the city. Your driver then drops you at the foot of your ship, well before all-aboard.
