“Qu’a vist Paris, se noun a vist Cassis, pou dire: n’ai rèn vist.” These words from Nobel Prize-winning author Frédéric Mistral perfectly capture the incredible allure that Cassis holds for all who visit. This small fishing port, nestled between two exceptional natural sites (the famous Calanques massif and the majestic Cap Canaille), offers visitors a true essence of Provence and the Mediterranean. The magic begins on the small road leading to the village, winding between vineyards and pine forests. The charm unfolds as you stroll through narrow alleys and squares lined with colorful fishermen’s houses. The Calanque de Port Miou is just a 30-minute walk from the town center, and it serves as the starting point for 20 kilometers of hiking trails through the Calanques.
