Route des Crêtes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The crest road which connects the town of La Ciotat to that of Cassis, runs in laces on the edge of the cliffs of Soubeyran (394 m), which are the highest seaside cliffs in France. The view is spectacular both in terms of the landscapes seen at the top of these cliffs and the road itself which evolves in pretty landscapes presenting a remarkable geology. This road is closed on very strong mistral days. This powerful wind can indeed be very intense at this height.

The climb is very steep, but it's worth it!

Road through the Calanques National Park. On the Marseilles side the view goes over the university Luminy. The ascent / descent on the other side gives a great panorama of Cassis and the Cap Canaillie rocks
