Old Port of La Ciotat

Highlight • Structure

La Ciotat - not as much bustle as in Cassis, but at least as beautiful a harbor and small stretches of beach.

Route des Crêtes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The crest road which connects the town of La Ciotat to that of Cassis, runs in laces on the edge of the cliffs of Soubeyran (394 m), which are the highest seaside cliffs in France. The view is spectacular both in terms of the landscapes seen at the top of these cliffs and the road itself which evolves in pretty landscapes presenting a remarkable geology. This road is closed on very strong mistral days. This powerful wind can indeed be very intense at this height.

Spanish Cave

Highlight • Cave

From here begins a relatively simple gravel trailer down to Cassis. Attention, this is also a much-walked trail

Place de la République

Highlight • Other

Place de la République is a pleasant little square in Cassis. Lined with cafes and restaurants, you can observe life there as it is practiced in Provence: gentle and peaceful.

Very steep ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Other

I had to push this route (without motor, rental bike and luggage). At least: you can drive again from the viewpoint with a small parking lot.

The tour starts in Cassis and goes to La Ciotat. With constant panoramic views and because it was soooo beautiful, the same return.
