A very good time - Do not hesitate to make this visit. Our guide was charming we did not see the past time. He told us the story of the Ciotat and we did not get the impression that he was reciting a text learned by heart.

Discover the Ciotat - Nice city to do on foot with a port and sandy beaches but not very large superb coves that can be visited by boat and possible to swim but be careful the parkings are quickly full when you go there on weekends or for holidays.

Great experience - We really enjoyed this very informative visit with a guide who seemed to love La Ciotat. The “humorous” side, however, was not really there.
