Itinerary
Your day begins in Le Castellet, a fortified medieval village perched high above the Bandol vineyards. Wander its cobblestone lanes, ancient church, and rampart walls while your guide traces the village's history from feudal times to the present.
The route descends toward the Mediterranean coast and the picturesque port town of Cassis. Known for its pastel-colored facades, pebble beaches, and local white wine, this town offers a relaxed and authentic taste of coastal Provencal life.
From Cassis, your guide leads you to a viewpoint overlooking the Calanques, where the limestone cliffs plunge dramatically into turquoise waters. These cliffs rank among the highest sea cliffs in Europe, and the vista is genuinely striking.
The final leg of the journey brings you into France's second city. A visit to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de La Garde crowns the day, offering both an architectural landmark and an unobstructed panoramic view over Marseille, its islands, and the open sea.
