- Aubagne : the land of santonniers, Marcel Pagnol's favorite town, in short, an immersion in Provence rhodanienne.
- Cassis : a charming town set in the Parc National des Calanques. The town is characterized by alternating ascents and descents. That said, don't panic: shuttle buses run regularly to take you from the station to the town center, and even to the starting point for hikes to the calanques.
- La Ciotat : between the sublime Parc du Mugel with its belvedere and pebbled coves; the old port in the town center with its cobbled streets and Provencal pointus; and its main avenue lined with sandy beaches, this is a must-visit commune.
- Six-Fours-les-Plages: neighboring Sanary-sur-mer, this municipality is known for its long Bonnegrâce beach, its Le Brusc district and its Gaou peninsula. It's also the main departure point for one of Paul Ricard's two islands, Les Embiez.
