Visit a Cassis winemaker to enjoy a tasting of the wines from this small appellation. Returning to Marseille chance to discover the coast road into the city, a visit to La basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, the iconic cathedral overlooking the city. Finally down to the old port via MuCEM & Fort St Jean.
