What to expect

You'll travel by comfortable, air-conditioned van with a driver who knows the region. The day begins in Cassis, where you'll have time to wander the village and see its coves (optional boat ride available separately). Then it's up to Cape Canaille for dramatic cliff-edge perspectives and sea views. In the afternoon, you'll explore Marseille's major sights—the golden basilica perched above the city, the lively Old Port where fishermen still work, and the grand cathedral. The pace is relaxed; you'll spend time at each stop without rushing.
