Full Description
  • Pick up at a centrally meeting point in Aix en Provence
  • This morning, we will come and pick you up at in front of the Aix en Provence Tourism office. The tourist office is located in the heart of the city, close to all the hotels located in the city center, usually a maximum 10 minutes walking distance. 
  • Meet your English speaking local guide
  • Upon arrival at the meeting point, you will be welcomed by your English speaking guide who will be waiting with a sign bearing the name of the tour and with the Ophorus logo on it. Also, all our guides have a nominative badge so that it will be easy for you to recognize them. 
  • There, your guide will go over the itinerary and program of the day. Board your premium, comfortable A/C vehicle and begin your tour from Aix en Provence towards the lovely seaside village of Cassis.
  • Cassis village visit
  • Arrive in the fishing village of Cassis and discover this cute portside village as well as the calanques listed by Unesco as a world heritage national park. The land & sea area is known for its white cliffs and turquoise water. Follow your guide on a walking tour of the village so as to get your bearings. 
  • As you stroll through the narrow streets of Cassis, browse small shops and stores that sell local goods of Provence, far from the chain stores that you would find in larger cities. If you are in the village on a Wednesday or Friday morning, your guide will certainly take you to the local market where it is possible to taste local delicacies.
  • Boat Ride in the Calanques National Park
  • This full day tour from Aix en Provence also includes a panoramic boat ride of the Calanques that are located near Cassis. From the small port, reach the Calanques National Park that stretches from Marseille to Cassis to admire some of the most beautiful coves part of the steep rocky coast that developed in limestone due to erosion. The result is a breathtaking landscape that mixes turquoise waters with impressive limestone cliffs and inlets.
  • Enjoy some free time for personal discovery & lunch (at own expense)
  • The great thing about this tour is that the program has been designed to leave you enough time to thoroughly enjoy your time in Cassis. After your visit & 45 minute boat ride, you will have sufficient time to take in some of that "Provence atmosphere" and lose yourself in the small quiet backstreets compared to the bustling harbor. 
  • It will also be time for you to taste some of the local delicacies in one of the many restaurants or bistros of the village. Ask your guide for recommendations as there are a number of restaurants that serve fine meals. As you can imagine, fish & seafood are among the most popular dishes to be found in the village. 
  • Reach Cape Canaille, the highest cliff in Europe
  • No tour to Cassis will be complete without a drive along the Route des Crêtes. As you leave Cassis, your drive will begin to head up towards the highest sea cliff in all of Europe.
  • Of course, your driver/guide will stop in one of the many areas dedicated to take in the views over the village and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. The views are stunning and make for a great opportunity for astounding photos. 
  • Wine tasting of Provence wines
  • In 1936, the Cassis Vineyard earned its prestigious Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée status, marking it as one of the earliest recognized wine regions alongside Sauternes and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nestled exclusively within the Cassis district, protected by the towering Cap Canaille, France’s tallest coastal cliff, this vineyard sprawls gracefully along the Mediterranean coastline.
  • Fueled by the steadfast dedication of local wine-growers, who have staunchly resisted the encroachment of urban development, the Cassis Vineyard continues to thrive across expansive landscapes. Reach the coastal vineyards of Cassis and participate in a wine tasting session of the local wines. Be introduced to Cassis, Côtes de Provence or Bandol wines depending on the winery visited. Learn about the wine making process and participate in a commented tasting session guided by an expert.

  • In 1936, the Cassis Vineyard earned its prestigious Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée status, marking it as one of the earliest recognized wine regions alongside Sauternes and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nestled exclusively within the Cassis district, protected by the towering Cap Canaille, France’s tallest coastal cliff, this vineyard sprawls gracefully along the Mediterranean coastline.
