If you want one ride that blends Provence’s art and history with its most dramatic coast, this combo day is the best of both worlds. From stately boulevards and fountains in Aix to pastel harbors and sea cliffs in Cassis, it’s a seamless way to see two highlights without juggling buses or tours.
Fully Customizable & Private – Your driver adjusts timing and stops to your preferences.
Pickup and drop off included with a professional, English-speaking driver.
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup in Marseille and a short drive north to Cours Mirabeau, where plane trees shade a grand promenade of fountains and terraces. Just a few steps away, Vieil Aix opens into medieval lanes and lively squares with the tall clock tower and town hall. Nearby, Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur rises with a mix of Roman, Gothic, and Baroque details—its cloister and chapels showing centuries of craftsmanship. For a taste of refinement, your driver continues to Quartier Mazarin & Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins, where aristocratic mansions frame the Four Dolphins fountain in the elegant Mazarin Quarter. If desired, you can also pause at 5Atelier Cézanne, Cézanne’s preserved studio or the nearby painters’ viewpoint toward Mont Sainte-Victoire.
After lunch in Aix, the route shifts south through vineyards and scrubland toward Port de Cassis, Cassis’ small harbor framed by chalk cliffs. Wander the quay for pastel façades and bobbing boats, or simply relax with an ice cream by the water. The highlight comes as the car climbs the Route des Crêtes to Cap Canaille, where ochre cliffs plunge nearly 400 meters to the sea. On clear days the Calanques spread westward in luminous blues, a breathtaking finale before the drive back to Marseille.
