Program & Itinerary
Discover Cassis and the Calanques Coast
Located between vineyards and the Mediterranean Sea, Cassis is one of Provence’s most picturesque coastal villages. Its lively harbor, pastel-colored houses, and dramatic limestone cliffs create a striking contrast between sea and mountains. The nearby Calanques National Park is renowned for its fjord-like inlets, turquoise waters, and spectacular coastal scenery.
During your visit, enjoy a boat excursion departing from Cassis harbor to explore the Calanques from the sea — the best way to appreciate these natural formations inaccessible by road.
Provence Wine Discovery
After exploring the coastline, continue into the surrounding vineyards where Mediterranean sunshine and sea breezes produce fresh, aromatic wines. Visit a carefully selected local estate within the Cassis or Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellations and enjoy guided tastings introducing Provence rosé alongside red and white wines.
A Perfect Provence Day Experience
This tour combines three essential Provençal experiences in one day: coastal landscapes, village discovery, and wine tasting. Limited to eight guests, the small-group format ensures a relaxed atmosphere and personal interaction with your expert driver-guide while traveling in a premium air-conditioned Mercedes minivan.
