A historic mansion
Built in 1887 on the seafront, this former mansion takes its name from the limestone cliffs that line the coast from Cassis to Marseille. It wasn’t until the early 1920s that the property was converted into a hotel.
Winston Churchill, and later Edith Piaf, spent a few days there.
From this period, the building retains some precious elements of art deco architecture: its wrought iron entrance framed by columns, two balconies with elaborate corbelling and an astonishing staircase banister with scale motifs.
