La Ciotat

La Ciotat lies along the Mediterranean coast on the Bay of La Ciotat, where the limestone headland of Bec de l’Aigle rises above the waterfront and Île Verte sits just offshore. The town developed around shipbuilding; its shipyards shaped local life for more than a century and remain a key part of its industrial heritage. Cinema also has a firm place here: the Lumière brothers filmed L’Arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat at the town’s railway station in 1895, a landmark of early film. The old port, beaches and coastal paths place La Ciotat between Marseille and the Calanques.
