Pick up at your hotel at around 9 a.m.
Your day begins with a visit to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most famous and charming villages on the French Riviera. Perched on a hill, this medieval village has captivated many artists with its unique atmosphere. Stroll through its cobblestone alleys, admire its ramparts and art galleries, and enjoy the magnificent panoramas of the Provençal hinterland.
You will then head to Cassis, a former fishing village that has become one of the jewels of the Mediterranean. After exploring its charming harbor lined with restaurants and terraces, enjoy some free time for lunch facing the boats and discover the authentic atmosphere of this small Provençal harbor.
In the afternoon, you'll take one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the region: the Route des Crêtes between Cassis and La Ciotat. Several photo stops will allow you to admire exceptional landscapes, including the famous Canaille Cape, one of the highest Maritime cliffs in Europe, as well as spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the calanques.
The day continues in Marseille, the oldest city in France, where you will discover the must-see sights of the Phocean city. Depending on your wishes, your live guide can take you to the Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica, which offers an exceptional view.
Throughout this private day trip, your live guide will share with you history, local anecdotes, and their best recommendations to help you discover the South of France in a different way.
An ideal day for travelers who want to combine the beauty of the villages of the French Riviera, the wild landscapes of the Mediterranean, and the authenticity of Marseille, with the comfort and flexibility of a private experience.
