Charming Provencal Towns of Le Castellet, Bandol, and Cassis from Marseille

Enjoy a picturesque journey from the bustling port of Marseille and dive into the captivating heart of Provence, exploring its prized gems: La Ciotat, Cassis, Bandol, and the enchanting medieval hamlet of Le Castellet. The tour allows you to embrace the cinematic history of La Ciotat, known as the birthplace of cinema and the home of the thriving petanque game, all while immersing in the coastal charm of its historic port and the stunning vistas of Calanques National Park.

This unique adventure takes you on a scenic drive along the breathtaking Route de la Gineste, leading to the vibrant markets of Cassis. Here, you will have the chance to dive into striking turquoise waters or hike for a picturesque view of Cap Canaille, France's highest sea cliff. Wine connoisseurs are in for a treat in Bandol, where you can sample some of France's finest wines from the region's three prestigious areas: AOP Cassis, Bandol, and Cotes de Provence, at renowned wineries such as Ott and Tempier, as well as charming family-owned estates.

By midday, the road climbs into pine-draped hills to reach Le Castellet, acclaimed as one of France's most beautiful villages. Here, indulge your palate with lunch from a gourmet restaurant or a charming creperie (cost not included), find unique treasures in artisan boutiques, and experience the alluring fragrances of local perfumeries that craft their scents from original Grasse essences. All this while marveling at the panoramic views of Provence's exquisite countryside.

Experience the soul of Provence with us and create cherished memories filled with scenic beauty, historic charm, and French "savoir-vivre." Let the allure of Marseille and its enchanting surroundings captivate you!
