Original activities in the Calanques during a seminar
La Ciotat, breathtaking, natural and little-known views
Between the mythical Bec de l'Aigle and the wild landscapes of the National Park, La Ciotat is an ideal playground for nature team-building.
The program includes kayaking, panoramic hiking, canyoning at Trou Souffleur, and caving in the surrounding massifs.
A perfect destination for bonding in the heart of a spectacular environment.
Pro Tip: As our base is located in this town, we can guarantee you changing rooms, activities such as kayaking with no portages or inconveniences, easy access to activity departure points with few parking difficulties.
Think of a seminar in La Ciotat as the perfect place to get your feet under the table and make the most of your time as a team, without wasting too much time.
Activities available outside the guided tours with Expénature: Visit the viewpoint of the Notre Dame de la Garde chapel. See the Mugel belvedere. Night market in July and August on the old port.
Cassis, the emblematic calanques
Cassis offers a unique backdrop for some of the Calanques' most iconic activities.
From kayaking at En-Vau, via cordata on the Vire d'En-Vau, electric mountain biking in the vineyards and strolls along the seafront, there's everything you need for a memorable day out.
An ideal blend of adventure and elegance, perfect for a premium seminar.
Pro tip : a seminar in Cassis requires a great deal of organization when it comes to transport. In the middle of nature, and with a small town, parking is limited. The same applies to access to amenities close to the activities: changing rooms, toilets... for kayak activities, a small portage is required before the activity to access the water. Approach walk for activities such as via corda.
Other activities available with Expénature: visit to the old port, night market in July and August. Visit to the fort, sunset at Cap Canaille
Cassis, the emblematic calanques
With its direct access to the sea and the Calanques, Marseille offers an incomparable variety of activities.
From kayaking on the Côte Bleue, to urban or nature hikes, caving in the neighboring massifs ororienteering gameson the Frioul, the city makes it possible to create a customized, flexible and original program.
A versatile destination for all seminar formats.
Pro tip: Rather suitable for large companies that need all the city's amenities and contacts. Marseille's nature activities give you another view of this mythical place and its calanques.
Just remember that sometimes crossing the city to get to l'Estaque takes longer than going to La Ciotat.
Additional activities: corniche kennedy stroll, port docks, visit to Marseille's mythical Panier district. Climb "la Bonne Mère

Practical Provencal restaurants for outdoor activities in Cassis
As for restaurants accessible during activities with Expénature, we don't really have any options within the calanques themselves.
In addition to the Nautic restaurant bar de Morgiou, the gourmet restaurant La Presque île and Rocco à cassis.
For restaurants in the city center we recommend :
Le Grand large, opposite Cassis's main beach, with a bistronomy-style capacity that's ideal for company seminars.
Chez Gilbert: Restaurant ideally located on the port of Cassis, traditional fish cuisine, can be privatized for professional or semi-pro events.

All Les Goudes restaurants (Chez Paul, La Marine des Goudes, Grand Bar des Goudes, etc.) are recommended in Marseille. Close to our activities Kayaking at les goudes, hiking to Marseilleveyre, orientation on the pastré countryside.
Le Yatching at Pointe Rouge is closer to Marseille city center, but still offers a pleasant sea view and large spaces for groups.
