Old port, shipyard, Mugel or Figuerolles — your chauffeur drops you at the exact address in 33 minutes from Marseille.
Which departure point? ✈️ MRS Airport → La Ciotat: €120📍 Marseille city centre → La Ciotat: €80
A short drive east of Marseille along the coast, La Ciotat pairs a lively old harbour with the world's oldest cinema and easy access to the calanques. A few pointers before you set off.
The oldest working cinema in the world, closely tied to the Lumière brothers. It sits right on the seafront, a short walk from the harbour.
A botanical garden sheltered by the Bec de l'Aigle cliff, with a path winding down to a pebble cove of clear water.
A small wooded island just offshore, reached by seasonal boat shuttle from the old port. Shaded trails and quiet coves for swimming.
Quaysides lined with colourful façades, backed by the vast shipyard structures that shaped the town's identity.
Gently shelving sandy beaches run along the seafront — a family-friendly stretch on this mostly rocky coastline.
Also worth a look: our Calanques tour from Marseille.
Marseille and La Ciotat are linked by the A50 motorway, which runs east along the coast towards Toulon: an easy, mostly motorway drive, with the toll included in the fare.

34 km · about 33 min · €80 by sedan, €110 by van. Pick-up at your hotel or any address in Marseille, drop-off at the exact address in La Ciotat.

Where we drop you off. The old port and the Eden Théâtre on the seafront; the entrance to the Mugel park (the lane down is narrow, so the gate is the easiest point); the Figuerolles car park above the calanque; the Saint-Jean seafront and its beaches; or any hotel, residence or private address — just give us the street name when you book. Heading back to Marseille later the same day? Book the two legs at once and your chauffeur comes back at the agreed time.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour of Marseille! We truly enjoyed the day and appreciated your excellent service, knowledge, patience, and hospitality. You made our visit special and gave us a great experience that we will remember. We really appreciate everything you did for us and wish you all the best! 🇫🇷❤️
Excellent experience with Hamid and his driving service. He arrived on time, and even walked 2 blocks to greet us at our rental on foot because our place was in a pedestrian- only zone and could not be reached by car. The drive itself was smooth and very comfortable. I highly recommend Hamid and Marseille Provence Driver 👏🏽
We were traveling as a family and had a great experience with the transfer service. They picked us up at the Marseille cruise port and took us to Aix-en-Provence. Both drivers were very polite, friendly, and professional. Everything went smoothly and the service was excellent. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend them!
