Taxi Marseille → Trets
Your Marseille → Trets transfer at a fixed price of €80–€95. 35 minutes at the foot of Sainte-Victoire.
A taxi between Marseille and Trets costs between €80 and €95 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 40 kilometres and a journey time of from 35 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A52 then D6, with ~€3 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €125. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Trets, a town of 11,000 in eastern Bouches-du-Rhône, is a history-rich Provençal borough nestled at the foot of the southern face of Sainte-Victoire mountain. This small town, which served as a strategic stronghold on the road linking Marseille to Upper Provence during the Middle Ages, has preserved parts of its 14th-century ramparts and four watchtowers that still punctuate the old centre's skyline. The Château de Trets (12th-16th century), fortress of the Counts of Provence then residence of the Archbishops of Aix, overlooks the town hall square with its massive tower. The Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth church, founded in the 11th century, blends Provençal Romanesque and Gothic additions. The old town, with its calade cobblestone lanes, vaulted passages and flower-decked squares, offers a charming stroll in the shade of century-old plane trees. Trets is also at the heart of a remarkable wine-growing terroir: the AOC Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire vineyards produce rosés and reds among the most prized in Provence, set against a landscape of garrigue and pine forests with Sainte-Victoire mountain as a backdrop. Domaine de Saint-Ser, Château Grand Boise and Domaine Terre de Mistral rank among the most renowned estates. Every Tuesday, the Trets market enlivens the Cours Aristide Briand with stalls from local producers: goat cheese, olive oil, garrigue honey, seasonal fruit and vegetables.
Route
Route Marseille → Trets
Departing Marseille, your driver takes the A50 (eastern motorway) towards Toulon, then branches onto the A52 towards Aubagne and Aix-en-Provence. After crossing Aubagne, the motorway runs alongside the Sainte-Baume massif on the left. The Trets/Fuveau exit gives access to the D6, leading directly to Trets through the Fuveau mining basin and its rolling landscapes. Arrival at Trets offers a breathtaking view of Sainte-Victoire's southern face, whose limestone cliffs glow fiery orange at sunset — the spectacle that fascinated Cézanne. Tolls on the A52 amount to approximately €3. Under normal conditions, the journey takes 35 minutes. During evening rush hour (5-7pm), slowdowns leaving Marseille on the A50 can extend the time to 55 minutes. Toll-free alternative: the D908 via the Huveaune valley through Aubagne and La Destrousse, a longer route (50 min) but free and picturesque through the Provençal countryside.
