Where to Stay in Provence & Calanques
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Provence & Calanques
Accommodation Overview
Stay in Marseille for the widest choice of dive centres and the fastest access to the city wrecks and the Calanques, or choose Cassis for a quieter base beside the park’s eastern walls. Toulon and the Île des Embiez suit those wanting sheltered, clear-water reefs. The area offers everything from city hotels to boutique inns, and summer books out early, so reserve ahead. A car helps reach the cliff-top trailheads and the scattered harbours.
