La Ciotat is a commune in the French department of Bouches-du-Rhône in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, southern France. It is the southeasternmost commune of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis. La Ciotat is located at about 25 km (15.5 mi) to the east of Marseille, at an equal distance from Toulon.

One of La Ciotat's main draws is its beautiful beaches. The Plage Lumière is a popular spot for sunbathing and swimming, while the Plage de la Calanque de Figuerolles offers crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views of the surrounding cliffs. If you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the coastline on your own.

In addition to its natural beauty, La Ciotat also has a rich history. The town's shipyard, which dates back to the 17th century, was once one of the largest in France and played a crucial role in the country's maritime industry. Today, you can visit the shipyard and learn about its fascinating history at the Musée Ciotaden.
