Ride in an open-top cabriolet along the most breathtaking coastline in France, from Marseille to the jewel-box fishing village of Cassis — gateway to the Calanques, Europe's most spectacular limestone fjords. Pure cinematic Provence.
What to expect
Departing Marseille's waterfront, the cabriolet hugs the Corniche before ascending the Route des Crêtes — a dizzyingly beautiful cliff-top road above open sea. At the summit, the full arc of the Calanques unfolds: sheer white limestone plunging into turquoise water of impossible clarity. In Cassis itself, you'll wander the pastel-fronted port, browse the fish market and settle at a harbour café for a glass of the village's celebrated white wine. On the return, your driver takes a slower route through the pine-forested hills, letting the landscape breathe.
Good to know
The drive from Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône to Marseille takes approx. 50 min; Cassis is a further 30 min. Plan a 6–7 hour excursion to do it justice. Book private transfer with cabriolet option directly through Ophorus. Confirm all-aboard time and build in a 45-min return buffer.
