Embark on a day-long journey to explore the awe-inspiring landscape of Cassis, with its rocky inlets known as Calanques by the Mediterranean sea, and the delightful Provençal villages nestled in the Luberon mountains. Your adventure begins in Aix-en-Provence, where you meet your amiable guide. The road trip towards Cassis takes you past Cap Canaille, Europe's highest maritime cliff, offering a view that will take your breath away.
Upon reaching Cassis, you'll have the opportunity to stroll around the old fishing port, adorned with colourful boats. If your visit coincides with a Wednesday or Friday, the local market adds to the charm. You also have the option to embark on an hour-long cruise from Cassis to witness the calanques, limestone cliffs diving into the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, forming natural coves. These fat, rocky claws bear a striking resemblance to Norwegian fjords jutting out into the sea.
The tour continues towards Luberon, where you can spend some leisure time exploring Lourmarin, renowned for its Renaissance-style castle. The journey through Provence then leads you to Roussillon with its ochre cliffs, followed by a photo stop in Bonnieux. Prepare to be astounded by Gordes' distinctive architecture - a village perched high in the Luberon and constructed entirely of dry stones.
The day concludes with a return trip to Aix-en-Provence. This concise narrative ensures a memorable experience of the region's natural beauty and cultural richness.
