We have booked an apartment in avignon for a week and then another week in Nice. We would really like to do a boat ride to Les Calanques and wondering what would be our best option. We have a car. I was thinking to drive from Avignon on our way to Nice and stop in Les Calanques and do a boat ride, but where should we park, how long would the car ride take? Or should we do a day trip from Avignon via train to Marseille and then what...how do we get to les calanques from there? Really would appreciate your expert advice.

Do you mean the calanques near Cassis? You would need to park at one of the car parks outside the town and get a shuttle bus in or walk, as the town itself is small, old and congested. There are umpteen boat trips from the port in Cassis. You can also walk west from the port for half an hour or so and see d%26#39;Envau from the top. Additionally there%26#39;s a mini tourist train in the town that goes up there so you don%26#39;t have to walk if you don%26#39;t feel like it. Afraid I don%26#39;t know much about driving times but would guess at about an hour from Avignon to Cassis, then 2 hours or so to Nice.

Yes I did mean Les Calanque in Cassis. I have no idea as to where is the best place to park and how to get to the best spot to park the car and take a boat tour, and an approximate estimate as to how long it would take to drive from avignon.

About 85 miles and an hour and a half from Avignon if you use the autoroute viamichelin.com/viamichelin/…MaHomePage.htm
We drove there last year and there was a park and ride system - we just followed signs for %26#39;navette%26#39;. The downside if you go to the calanques en route for Nice is that you will have to leave all your luggage in the car.
I believe you can get to the calanques from Marseille, so it would be feasible as a day trip as you suggest marseille-tourisme.com/en/…
