This carefully designed journey offers a balanced blend of scenic beauty, cultural discovery, and gastronomic pleasure, ideal for travelers wishing to capture the true spirit of southern France.
Your day begins in Toulon, a historic naval city set between sea and mountains. Leaving the port behind, enjoy a scenic drive along the Mediterranean coast while your guide shares insights into the region's rich heritage, landscapes, and traditions. As the urban scenery fades, the Provencal countryside reveals its vineyards, limestone hills, and azure horizons.
Arriving in Cassis, a charming fishing village nestled between dramatic cliffs, you will have time to explore its colorful streets, lively harbour, and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Just beyond the village lies the Calanques National Park, famous for its striking white limestone formations, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters. Often described as the "fjords of the Mediterranean", the Calanques can be discovered on an optional boat cruise, offering a unique perspective on this protected natural treasure, or admired from viewpoints around the village.
The journey continues along the spectacular Route des Cretes towards Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in Europe. This panoramic road offers breathtaking views over the coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean, making it one of the most scenic drives in Provence. As an alternative, you may visit the medieval hilltop village of Le Castellet, known for its preserved stone architecture, artisan shops, and surrounding vineyards.
A highlight of the day is a visit to a prestigious Provence winery, where you will enjoy a guided wine tasting in an authentic setting. Discover the elegance and character of celebrated regional appellations such as Bandol and Cotes de Provence, with tastings at renowned estates including Domaine Tempier or Chateau d'Ott. The experience combines fine wines with the tranquil beauty of the Provence landscape. For wine enthusiasts wishing to deepen the experience, an optional additional tasting in Cassis is also available.
As the tour draws to a close, return to Toulon with lasting memories of dramatic coastlines, historic villages and refined local flavors.
