WHAT YOU VISIT
Cassis on Your Own
Enjoy the freedom to discover this 2,600-year-old village at your own pace. From its picturesque harbor, filled with yachts, to the stunning white cliffs that jut over 235 meters (780 feet) into the air, Cassis is a tourist's paradise and offers a variety of activities. After meeting your English-speaking Guide on the pier, you'll board a coach and once you arrive in Cassis you'll transfer to a train that will take you into the charming village where you can explore on your own. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Rue Frédéric Mistral to the picturesque Port de Cassis; explore the town's shops, cafes, and markets; relax at a delightful café; or visit the famous Calanques, the largest seaside cliffs in France when you purchase a ticket for a boat ride or rent a kayak.
