The flight joins the coast at Les Goudes and then threads the calanques one by one: Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton and En-Vau, its white walls planted in turquoise water. The turn is made at Cap Canaille, the highest sea cliff in France, with Cassis tucked beneath it. In summer, go for early morning: the light is low and the air far calmer.

Frequently asked questions

Can the aircraft be chartered privately?
Yes. All our scenic flights can be privatised — the whole aircraft to yourself, whatever the number of passengers. It is also the only way to guarantee an exact departure time, since a shared flight depends on the aircraft filling up.
What happens if the weather is bad?
A flight never departs in degraded conditions: the decision rests with the pilot, usually the day before. The flight is then postponed, or refunded, according to the operator's own terms — we reproduce them word for word on each page, before any request.
Can children fly?
Yes, from the age of 2 on most aircraft, and on an adult's lap below that age depending on the operator. Each passenger's weight is requested at booking so the aircraft can be correctly balanced.
