MARSEILLE SHORE EXCURSION

Tour Description

Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Cassis

Drive along the old port up to the landmark of Marseille, the basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde from where you will enjoy one of the most beautiful views over the bay.

Head further to the small fishing village of Cassis nestled in the Massif des Calanques, where you will have the possibility to stop for a walk in this picturesque port of the Mediterranean and enjoy a drink before continuing to the former capital of Provence Aix-en-Provence.

You will feel the true flavour of the region, with its boulevards framed by plane trees, the pavements and terraces of the cafés and brasseries where locals meet for a glass of rosé or pastis. Stroll in the boulevards, the Cours Mirabeau and its famous fountains and walk on the steps of the “father of Modern Art”, Paul Cézanne. Discover the stunning cathedral which was built on a site of the former Roman town. The streets are bordered by some interesting and historic private mansions.

Drive then back to the port of Marseille to your ship.
