Tourist guide

Since 2019, the bay of La Ciotat has been officially classified as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. 
This prestigious label highlights the natural beauty of the site and its commitment to responsible environmental conservation. La Ciotat thus joins such emblematic places as Halong Bay or Mont Saint-Michel.
