Transportation from Cassis to St. Rey

We are traveling in Provence with friends at the end of September and need to get from Cassis to St. Remy. We'd like to hire a driver for this transfer. Any suggestions as to how to do this?

When I queried for St. Remy and got such a long list, I couldn't resist a "copy-paste" :-)
There is one St. Remy in the same département as Cassis (Bouches-du-Rhône): Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. According to viamichelin.com this is 120 Km from Cassis, but is that the one Costello actually wants?

They could try asking the hotel in Cassis for a recommendation. The nearest station to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is Avignon, 20 Km away, so train + taxi is an option.
Again if this is the St. Rémy they want.

I had no idea there were so many St Remys in France. As someone figured out, we are heading to the St Remy near Avignon. It is about an hour and a half drive. Because there are 4 of us and we have some time constraints, we thought that their might be the possibility of hiring a cab.

There could be. You can look up taxis in Cassis on line and call. These are independent drivers, not a company. Being four of you changes the game a bit.

If you need to rent a car, it's very limited in Cassis. You'd need to bring a car with you to Cassis because you can't just pick one up there, especially at the last minute.

BTW the taxi driver will know which St. Remy. Just pronounce it " san ray me" and you're good to go. Sorry for not putting the accent mark.
