[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the recommendations! I'm actually not sure if there is AC where we are staying.  I stayed there before and was not hot at all.  It is much cooler in Cassis than in Nice/Antibes and the water is very cold too.  It was lovely last time.

We already bought our tickets.  We are flying a budget airline because that's what me and my sister are able to afford but I've flown with this airline multiple times and it's honestly not bad and we did upgrade a little so we will be sitting next to each other and will have a carry-on and personal item.  The cost was like $1,300 vs $700 so it made a big difference for me.

I am worried about driving into Marseille.  It is a HUGE city and I anticipate that being really stressful for me and my sister trying to drive.  I'd much prefer to go to Aix-en-provence and it be less stressful.  It's a gorgeous city and the markets are perfect.  I also found out that some relatives of ours might actually be in Paris our last night as well so we are going to try and coordinate going out for dinner so it may actually work out for the best :)

Thanks for the tips about the sacre-coeur, I knew that there were alternative ways up.  I guess we will just see which option works best with what we are doing. [/quote]

No need to drive into Marseille- just drive out a few minutes out to the Cassis train station, which has parking, and take the TER regional train into Marseille if you want to see the city a bit.  It's 25 minutes and trains run every half hour.[/quote]

I need to double check but I've been to the train station in Cassis and it's a good distance from the main part of town and transportation there isn't reliable.  I didn't see anywhere to rent a car right there in cassis and they have no taxi's unless something has changed, but that is why I was going to pick a bigger city. I'd love to be wrong though!
