Overview

Discover the best of Provence in one seamless day, blending Aix’s refined charm with Cassis’ dramatic coast. From Marseille, enjoy a private pickup and head to Cours Mirabeau, a tree-lined promenade of fountains and cafés, before wandering Vieil Aix with its clock tower, lanes, and lively squares. Step into Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, a mix of Roman, Gothic, and Baroque artistry, then admire the aristocratic Quartier Mazarin and elegant Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins. If you wish, stop at Atelier Cézanne, the painter’s preserved studio. After lunch, your driver takes you south to Port de Cassis, a pastel harbor alive with boats and cafés, before climbing the Route des Crêtes to Cap Canaille, where ochre cliffs tower above turquoise waters. Fully private and customizable, the ride includes pickup, drop-off, and an English-speaking driver who adapts timing and stops to your pace for a relaxed, memorable journey.

    Narrow lanes and squares where the medieval heart of Aix still beats—markets, artisan shops, and the historic clock tower on Place de l’Hôtel de Ville.
  3. Cathedrale St. Sauveur
    1h
    A layered monument blending Roman foundations, a Gothic nave, and Baroque chapels, with a calm cloister. Free to enter, it’s a must-see inside Vieil Aix.
  4. 1h
    Quartier Mazarin & Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins. A 17th-century district of aristocratic mansions and baroque fountains. The Four Dolphins square is a jewel of Aix’s classical elegance.

    2h
    A pastel-colored fishing village with a tiny port, lively quays, and cafés facing the water—ideal for photos with Cap Canaille cliffs behind.
  7. Cape Canaille
    2h
    France’s highest sea cliffs at ~394 m offer pull-offs for sweeping views of the bay and the Calanques. Access depends on fire-risk closures in summer.
