Must-see places in France · Route des Crêtes

Your holiday on the Route des Crêtes. Without going.

The cliffs of Cassis, without the hairpin bends that make you carsick.

The guide

The best spots, for real

Actually in France? Here's where to go. If not, your photo pack is waiting below.

  • Cap Canaille viewpoint

    The star viewpoint: Cassis, its bay and the calanques at your feet, from the top of the cliffs.

  • Pas de la Colle

    The first big viewpoint on the way up from Cassis, perfect for a photo with the winding road.

  • Soubeyranes cliffs

    Ochre cliffs with spectacular rock layers. Stay behind the railings: the drop is dizzying.

  • La Ciotat semaphore

    A bird's-eye view of Île Verte and the Bec de l'Aigle rock. Best at sunset.

Good to know

The road (about 15 km) may close in strong winds or when fire risk is high in summer: check before you go. There is no shuttle: go by car, bike or on foot. Bring water, there is almost no shade.

The maths

The trip you didn't take cost you…

Rough amounts, estimated with plenty of bad faith and a little truth.
