Route des Crêtes

The Route des Crêtes is a spectacular scenic road that winds along the summit of Cap Canaille, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. As you drive or cycle this route, you are treated to panoramic vistas of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, the rugged limestone cliffs, and the charming town of Cassis below. The road offers multiple lookout points where you can stop to take in the dramatic scenery, especially stunning at sunrise or sunset when the light paints the cliffs in golden hues. This drive is a must-do for nature lovers and photographers seeking unforgettable coastal landscapes.

Don't miss

• Stop at the Belvédère viewpoint for a classic photo of Cassis and the calanques
• Watch the sunset over the Mediterranean from the cliff edges
• Spot local flora like garrigue shrubs and wildflowers along the roadside
