The most-requested shore excursion from Marseille, done privately: Aix-en-Provence and Cassis in one day, with your driver waiting at the foot of your ship and a guaranteed return before all-aboard.
Stroll the Cours Mirabeau and the fountains of Aix-en-Provence, Cézanne's elegant city, then take the Route des Crêtes above Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in France, down to the fishing harbour of Cassis for lunch by the water. On the way back, a photo stop at Notre-Dame de la Garde if time allows. Private Mercedes for your group only, timed to your ship's schedule.
No shuttle, no queue, no crowd: your ship, your pace, and the best of Provence.
