Taxi Cassis → La Ciotat
Your Cassis → La Ciotat transfer at €25–€30. 12 km, toll-free via the D559.
A taxi between Cassis and La Ciotat costs between €25 and €30 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 12 kilometres and a journey time of from 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D559, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €40. 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.

This short 12 km ride between Cassis and La Ciotat packs some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Provence. Cassis is famous for its turquoise calanques (Port-Miou, Port-Pin, En-Vau) within the Calanques National Park, and its AOC white wine — dry, mineral, cultivated on terraces facing the sea. Between the two towns rises Cap Canaille, whose Soubeyran cliffs soar to 394 metres — France's highest maritime cliffs. The Route des Crêtes (D141) winds along these cliff tops with vertigo-inducing views. La Ciotat entered universal history as the birthplace of cinema: the Lumière brothers filmed their first moving images here in 1895, including the famous "Arrival of a Train." The town still has the Eden Theatre, considered the world's oldest still-operating cinema, along with a lively old port and the Mugel calanque botanical garden.
