FULL DAY CALANQUES / MARSEILLE

A full day visit of the multicultural city of Marseille and its seacoast, plus Cassis village.

We start the tour in the picturesque town of Marseille, settled on a sumptuous spot on the shores of the Mediterranean. Discover the highlights of the city: the Old Port, the heart of the city and a beautiful sight with thousands of sailboats; the very new MUCEM Museum, and the Saint John Fortress. Visit the hilltop church of Notre Dame de la Garde that offers the most amazing viewpoint of the road along the sea. Continue the way along the Calanques National Park with a stop in Sormiou. This little fjord with high limestone cliffs is a paradise for hiking, climbing, swimming, and kayaking. Enjoy a stop in Cassis, a picturesque old fishing port settled between high cliffs, sea and vineyards. We end up on the top of Cap Canaille, one of the highest seaside cliffs in Europe with outstanding views of the Med and the Provencal countryside.

Restaurant: Le Môle Passédat

Of course, here it is all about terroir, products, and the art of preparing them around the Mediterranean basin: however, the cultural and festive aspect of the MuCEM give a whole other dimension to the act of cooking.
