1. Marseille → Cassis via the Gineste road

A mythical road, wide and fluid, which winds between sea and pine forest.
The views over the Calanques are spectacular.
💡 Ideal with a Honda NX500 Or a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.


2. Marseille → The Calanques of Sormiou and Morgiou

A short but sublime stroll.
The curves are tight, the road narrow, and the panoramas of the Mediterranean unforgettable.


3. Marseille → The Blue Coast

Direction west towards Carry-le-Rouet and Sausset-les-Pins.
Coves, ports, bends and a seaside atmosphere perfect for 125cc racing like the Yamaha XSR125.

A natural loop by Aubagne, Gémenos and the Espigoulier pass.
Winding road, freshness and a Provençal atmosphere guaranteed.

A fast and pleasant road, perfect for a relaxing weekend.
You can stop at the village of Ventabren for a coffee overlooking the valley.


6. Marseille → The Verdon Gorges

A longer stage, but what a reward!
It's wild Provence: cliffside turns and turquoise lakes.
💡 Take a Africa Twin 2025 Or a Transalp 2025 for this kind of trip.

Gentle roads, hilltop villages and the smell of lavender in summer.
A typical Provençal experience to do as a duo on a Super Meteor 650.

Straight lines, pink flamingos, and the sea at the end.
La Himalayan 450 will be perfect for driving on these long windy roads.

Vertiginous cliffs, perfect turns and a panorama of the Mediterranean at an altitude of 400 m.
