La Ciotat: shipyards, the Éden and Figuerolles cove
La Ciotat is the town of the Lumière brothers: the Éden-Théâtre, one of the world’s oldest cinemas, stands on the harbour. The shipyards service large yachts, and beaches, the Figuerolles cove and the Île Verte, a few minutes away by boat, complete the visit.
From the airport the route follows the A55 through Marseille and the A50 to the La Ciotat exit, tolls included. For the shipyards, give the yard or yacht name.
Do you serve the Mugel park and Figuerolles cove?
Yes, with drop-off at their entrances. In summer car access to Figuerolles is sometimes limited.
La Ciotat’s harbour also hosts refit yards for superyachts: captains and crews fly in with their kit bags, and we take them straight to the dock. The town is where the Lumière brothers filmed their arriving train, and the Eden Theatre on the seafront is often called the oldest working cinema in the world.
Pétanque was born in La Ciotat in 1907, when a player with rheumatism could no longer take a run-up: the game was played “pieds tanqués”, feet planted. The Beraud court where it all began still exists, and summer evenings on the seafront end with games under the plane trees.
