Program & Itinerary
Discover Cassis and the Calanques Coast
The fishing village of Cassis is one of Provence’s most picturesque coastal destinations. Surrounded by vineyards and cliffs, its lively harbor provides the perfect starting point to explore the nearby Calanques National Park.
A boat excursion allows visitors to admire the famous limestone inlets, turquoise waters, and dramatic coastal scenery that make the Calanques one of southern France’s natural highlights.
A Unique Sunday Experience: The Cosquer Cave
On Sundays, the traditional winery visit is replaced by entry to the Cosquer Cave in Marseille. This remarkable site recreates a prehistoric cave discovered underwater near the Calanques containing Ice Age paintings dating back more than 20,000 years.
Through an immersive guided circuit, visitors experience detailed reproductions of cave art and learn about early human life along the Mediterranean coast, offering a fascinating cultural complement to the natural landscapes seen earlier in the day.
Small-Group Comfort
Limited to eight participants, the tour ensures a relaxed pace with time to explore Cassis village and enjoy each experience fully while traveling in a premium air-conditioned Mercedes minivan with an expert driver-guide.
