We have a flight in and out Marseilles and want to spend 2 nights in Cassis before our return to Washington, DC. If we pick up a rental car at the airport how much time should we allow to return to the airport for a 10 am flight to Washington, DC?
Prue Clendenning
Washington, DC

For a trans-Atlantic flight the latest I wouid suggest you be at your check-in desk would be two hours prior to departure and earlier would be better.
In theory you should be able to get from Cassis to the Marseille airport in about an hour. The problem however is that the route takes you straight through Marseille with all the possibilities of delays that that entails.
If I were in your position I would spend the night in a hotel near the airport, preferably one that has a shuttle so that you could return your rental car the night before.

When in Cassis, please go to a restaurant called %26quot;fleur de thym%26quot;, it is owned by an old lady and her son (she cooks, he is the waiter). One of the best dinner I ever had ! Totally amazing, they use the freshest ingredients !
And avoid %26quot;les roches blanches%26quot; : worst service ever !

The best way to get to Marseilles airport from Cassis is to go via Aix en Provence. It%26#39;s about 70 km, but you avoid all the Marseilles traffic and the only part that%26#39;s a toll road is the section between Aubagne and Aix. It will still take an hour.
