Your day begins with a pleasant drive to Cassis, a welcoming fishing village known for its colorful harbor and relaxed Provençal atmosphere. Take some time to stroll through the streets, browse local shops, or enjoy a drink by the sea.
Your morning continues with a boat trip through Calanques National Park. Cruise past limestone cliffs, quiet coves, and clear blue waters, including well-known inlets such as Port-Miou and Port-Pin. It’s a beautiful setting and a great opportunity to enjoy the region’s natural landscapes.
After the cruise, you’ll have free time in Cassis. Choose a restaurant for lunch—seafood is a local favorite—or explore the village at your own pace.
In the afternoon, follow the scenic Route de la Gineste toward Marseille, with open views over the Mediterranean coast. As you arrive in the city, you’ll pass the Stade Vélodrome, a notable landmark.
The final stop of the day is the Cosquer Cave. Located in the Villa Méditerranée, this detailed reconstruction recreates the prehistoric cave now submerged in the Calanques. Aboard a guided module, you’ll discover reproductions of more than 480 engravings and paintings, presented with careful attention to scientific accuracy.
Combining nature, local culture, and fascinating history, this day trip from Aix-en-Provence offers a well-rounded introduction to Provence and its Mediterranean surroundings.
