Cap Canaille

Between Cassis and La Ciotat, discover the cliffs of Cap Canaille and the scenery visible from the viewpoints along the Route des Crêtes. The D141 offers several panoramic stops overlooking the coast and surrounding hills. This listing is about exploring the natural site, not a hiking route or a guarantee of access by car. On Sundays, the road is reserved for pedestrians and non-motorised transport. Before setting off, check access restrictions: fire risk and strong winds can lead to closures. Stay away from cliff edges.
