Take a boat trip to the beautiful Calanques from Cassis

Cassis is a city in Provence in southern France.

[edit] Get in

There's a train station on the edge of the town. By car, be warned that some of the roads around Cassis have many sharp bends.

[edit] Get around

[edit][add listing] See

The beaches (remember your swimming costume). These can get very busy in the summer months though.

The nearby Calanques (see the Marseille entry for more details).

[edit][add listing] Do

The boat trips to the Calanques are definitely worthwhile. A choice of trips are available, either tours or drop-on or pick-ups from the Calanques.

[edit][add listing] Buy

There are plenty of souvenirs available, ranging from the tacky to the upmarket. Some of them can be quite expensive so do shop around.

[edit][add listing] Eat

The seafront is lined with seafood restaurants, most of which are expensive and not very good with the exception of Nino's. A good restaurant at a great price is the Bonaparte, a little off the main drag on Rue General Bonaparte. Jean Marie, the owner, really makes his guests welcome. Really necessary to reserve for the evening meal.
