Overview
Cassis is a small fishing port wedged between two exceptional natural sites: the celebrated Calanques and the majestic Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in France. The village charms visitors with brightly coloured fishermen's homes, vineyard-lined back roads, and welcoming portside terraces.
