    Departing from Marseille by car/minivan, enjoy a comfortable ride to Aix-en-Provence for a 1h30 guided walk in the historic center. Start at La Rotonde, then stroll Cours Mirabeau under plane trees, passing elegant 18th-century mansions, cafés, and fountains, including the mossy Fontaine Moussue and King René’s fountain. Explore charming lanes and hidden squares like Place d’Albertas, then reach Place de l’Hôtel de Ville for the Town Hall area and local atmosphere. Featured attraction: Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, where Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles reveal Aix’s layered history (short interior visit when open). Finish near Place des Prêcheurs, then return to Marseille. Easy pace, photo stops, round-trip transport included.
  2. Cape Canaille

    Cap Canaille is one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe and offers breathtaking panoramic views over Cassis, the Mediterranean, and the Calanques coastline. Travelers will enjoy a scenic drive along the Route des Crêtes with several photo stops at the best viewpoints, where your guide/driver will explain the landscape, geology, and local highlights. On clear days, you can see as far as Marseille and La Ciotat. It’s the perfect spot for unforgettable photos before continuing the tour.

    Time spent at this place: 15–20 minutes (photo stops)
  3. Cassis
    1h
    Cassis town center is a charming seaside village famous for its colorful harbor, Provençal atmosphere, and relaxed cafés. During free time, travelers can stroll along the marina, browse local shops and artisan boutiques, enjoy an espresso or ice cream by the waterfront, and take photos of the fishing boats and pastel façades. If desired, you can visit the local market (depending on the day), walk to the beach for a quick break, or simply enjoy the view and ambiance before meeting back at the agreed time for the next part of the tour.
  4. Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde

    Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica is Marseille’s most iconic landmark, perched on the city’s highest point with spectacular 360° views over the Old Port, the islands, and the Mediterranean. Travelers will enjoy a scenic drive up to the hilltop, then take time to explore the basilica’s richly decorated interior, famous mosaics, and the golden statue of the Virgin Mary watching over Marseille.
