One of the most dramatic coastal drives in France, with cliffs plunging hundreds of metres to the sea, is best done in a private car that can stop wherever the view demands.
What to expect
Your guide drives you along the cliffside road between La Ciotat and Cassis, stopping at the highest viewpoints over the Mediterranean and the Cap Canaille cliffs, among the tallest maritime cliffs in Europe. Along the way you get context on the region's geology, history, and the towns below. It's unhurried, flexible, and built around conversation rather than a script.
Good to know
Pickup can be arranged near the port; confirm timing so you're back well ahead of all-aboard, as the drive alone can take a couple of hours with stops.
