La Ciotat

La Ciotat, gateway to the national park of calanques...

When the writer Alphonse de Lamartine, visiting La Ciotat in 1832, wrote"Happy is the man who is born and dies in the sun. All the happiest is the one who has his house, his parents' house and garden, by this sea whose each wave is a spark casting its light and its radiance on the earth...", he was not an ordinary tourist !

Listed as a touristy resort since 1928, the beauty of its landscapes, the brightness of its sky and the softness of its climate make it a city of the French Riviera where it feels good to stay.

Moreover, La Ciotat is the most beautiful bay in the world in 2019.
