Embark on a captivating day tour from Aix-en-Provence, designed to showcase the very best of the Mediterranean coast and Provence’s natural beauty. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to the charming fishing village of Cassis, celebrated for its picturesque harbor, colorful houses, and relaxed Provençal atmosphere. Stroll through the village’s lively streets, discover local boutiques, or simply soak up the ambiance at a café overlooking the sea.
The highlight of your morning is a memorable boat ride through the Calanques National Park. Cruise along the stunning coastline, marveling at dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and hidden coves that make this UNESCO-listed area one of France’s natural treasures. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Calanques, including the famous inlets of Port-Miou and Port-Pin, perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike.
After your boat excursion, enjoy free time in Cassis to explore at your own pace. Savor a delicious lunch at a local restaurant—fresh seafood is a regional specialty—or wander the village to discover artisan shops and vibrant markets.
In the afternoon, your journey continues along the scenic Route de la Gineste, offering panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean landscape. As you approach Marseille, you’ll pass by the iconic Stade Vélodrome, a symbol of the city’s sporting spirit and architectural flair.
Your final stop is the extraordinary Cosquer Cave in Marseille. This site is a perfect, scientifically accurate replica of the original Cosquer Cave, which lies submerged in the Calanques near Cassis and is inaccessible to the public. The replica, located in the Villa Méditerranée, recreates the prehistoric atmosphere and showcases over 480 ancient engravings and paintings dating back between 33,000 and 19,000 years.
Visitors explore the cave in small groups aboard a guided module, experiencing the art and geology in remarkable detail—right down to the hand prints, animal figures, and geological features, all meticulously reproduced and approved by a scientific committee. This immersive visit offers a rare opportunity to discover one of Europe’s greatest Paleolithic art sites, brought to life in a state-of-the-art setting in the heart of Marseille.
This expertly crafted tour from Aix-en-Provence combines natural wonders, authentic village life, and fascinating history—making it the perfect choice for travelers seeking a true taste of Provence and the Mediterranean coast.
