Explore the captivating village of Cassis at your own pace, and discover a quieter side of the Provence.
During your scenic ride from Marseille to Cassis, your guide will show you show the impressive landscape between Marseille and Cassis, and then show you the Tourist Information office where maps and any additional information about this ancient fishing village could be availed. When you arrive, a small shuttle train will whisk you into the village centre where you’ll be free to explore and make your own discoveries.
As you stroll around this pretty Provencal village you can take in some retail therapy in the quaint boutiques, shops and markets. If you are feeling like some sun, you could hit the beach, or find a hidden cove.
Lying in the heart of the Calanques National Park, this charming village provides you with easy access to the beautiful, rugged calanques. You can explore these dramatic coves on foot or on a boat tour.
Alternatively, simply grab a cafe au lait in a café at the port and enjoy a spot of people watching. The choice is all yours.
Afterwards, you’ll re-board the shuttle train, before the return journey back to your ship.
