Departing from the port of Marseille, this seven-and-a-half-hour shore excursion showcases two of Provence's most beloved destinations: Aix-en-Provence and the coastal village of Cassis. Begin with a visit to Aix-en-Provence's historic centre, wandering the broad, tree-lined Cours Mirabeau and admiring the fine 17th-century architecture that lines the avenue. The atmosphere of Aix's old town invites leisurely exploration, with elegant façades, fountains and independent boutiques to discover. After time in Aix, the route continues to Cassis, a picturesque fishing village set beside a deep blue gulf. Pause at Cap Canaille for sweeping panoramas over the Mediterranean and the dramatic cliffs that frame the shoreline. Back in Cassis, enjoy free time to stroll the harbour, sample local seafood or relax by the water. The itinerary balances sightseeing and leisure, offering a relaxed pace ideal for shore guests who wish to experience Provençal culture, coastal scenery and historic urban charm before returning to Marseille.
