Your journey starts with a comfortable pickup in Marseille, following the coastal road towards Port de Cassis. Take a few unhurried moments along the quays for photos of colourful façades and bobbing boats framed by chalk-white headlands an easy, ground-level taste of the Calanques scenery.

Next, the road climbs to Cap Canaille – Route des Crêtes Lookout, a ridge drive where ochre cliffs drop straight to the sea. From signed lookouts, the Calanques unfold in layers, and you can trace the coastline all the way towards La Ciotat pure wow-factor with minimal walking.

A short hop brings you to Belvédère des Calanques, a vantage that sets Cassis Bay like a model village between sea and stone. With the car close by, it’s simple to step out for wide-angle shots, then roll on without losing time.

Back near the water, pause at Calanque de Port-Miou, the most accessible inlet of the Calanques. The narrow fjord-like channel, lined with masts and turquoise water, delivers those classic “limestone meets sea” views perfect for a gentle stroll and close-up photos.

As the day eases, the return to the city crests Col de la Gineste Scenic Pass, a scenic pass where low scrub and limestone give you one last sweep of Provence meeting the Mediterranean. From there, your driver brings you smoothly back to your Marseille dropoff.
