What is there to do in Cassis?

Cassis is a beautiful little town, just 12 miles east of Marseille. Now a major tourist destination, it has a rich history too. It has been an important fishing port and was fortified in the 5th century. It's also famous for its red and white wines. But its major draw is the location. The Mediterranean coast here is magnificent. Cassis is surrounded by amazing cliffs and rocky coves. The nearby Cap Canaille is one of Europe's highest cliffs. It offers stunning views of the port and shore.

Cassis is also close to the Calanques national park. Here the mountainous landscape borders the azure sea, with spectacular results. It's ideal for climbers, hikers, cyclists, kayakers and ambitious runners! Some may wonder how to visit the Calanques for more gentle pursuits. There's no need to worry, though. Less challenging trails offer a superb tour for naturalists, with a huge range of animal and plant species.
