Small Group Tour: Cassis Village Tour, Calanques Boat Ride & Provence Wines from Aix
Travelers enjoy a full-day escape to the Mediterranean coast, combining dramatic landscapes, village charm, and regional wine culture. Departing from Aix-en-Provence, the tour begins in the colorful harbor town of Cassis, where pastel façades, narrow streets, and waterfront cafés set a relaxed Provençal tone. Free time allows for independent exploration, browsing local shops, or enjoying lunch at a seaside restaurant.
The experience continues on the water with a scenic boat cruise through Calanques National Park. Towering limestone cliffs rise above turquoise coves, offering one of southern France’s most striking natural settings. A drive along Cape Canaille, Europe’s highest sea cliff, provides sweeping coastal views and photo opportunities.
The day concludes inland at a local winery, where a guided tasting introduces distinctive Provence red, rosé, and white wines, showcasing the region’s diverse terroir.
