| 20 minutes away of Marseilles and Toulon, La Ciotat is a small seaside resort which managed to keep its authenticity. |
| The city is limited in the west by the Calanques, the highest cliffs of Europe (394m), and an island, the Ile Verte, just off the coast. In the east, the city offers more than 6 km of sand beaches. You will be charmed by the old picturesque fishing port, the beautiful houses of 17th century, the 'Route des Crêtes' leading to Cassis, and the Park du Mugel, where you will discover a varied and abundant vegetation as well as a unique panoramic view on the city, the shipyards and the islands of the bay. |
