I found a great informative website while researching things to do in Marseille. Cassis looks interesting.

First time in Marseille had a trip with Rendez-vous-provence and we went first to Cassis and then to Aix..it was a wonderful day. Little boat ride from Cassis to the Calanques (caves) and then a nice stop overlooking the whole area. Cassis is a great little town!

There is a Hop On Hop off bus in Marseilles. Has anyone done it?

We were on the Thomson Dream last week and one of the port stops was Toulon.

If you're adventurous, Cassis is a great place to visit.

It's about a 20 minute walk to the train station in Toulon, 35 minute train ride to Cassis. The train station in Cassis is about 3 miles away from the port and we called a taxi to take us back & forth ( about 10 Euros each way).

There's also a bus that runs hourly to from Cassis train station and port.

Cassis port is a wondeful place to visit, we had an outdoor lunch along the water, little shops & boutiques in town. We also took a one hour boat ride ( kiosk at port that sells tickets, walk up, first come first served) for 15 Euros each. Saw 3 calanques (fiojrd like along the coast line, just breathtaking).

If you go, enjoy, you'll love it, wish we were back.

Have the mussels & pomme frites for lunch, they're great.We ate in Le Sol along the marina.
