située entre le centre ville Vieux Port et les Calanques !
Marseille, a thousand-year-old city
Marseille, France's second largest city, offers a unique experience that combines history, culture and charm. One can explore the Old Port that is replete with colourful boats, visit the Notre Dame De La Garde basilica that boasts 360-degree views, discover maritime history at the MuCEM museum, taste traditional dishes including the Bouillabaisse, wander along the quaint streets of the Panier neighbourhood, soak up vibrant markets such as the Plaine and relax on sandy beaches like Les Catalans.
Mediterranean wonders await you
The Calanques, a series of coves with turquoise water, offer a natural escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. These geological formations, which are composed of carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite, can be accessed on foot or by boat. Another exposure to nature is the Frioul archipelago, a group of four islands located approximately four kilometres from the shore. Highlights include Pomègues for its secluded beaches and If for its 16th century fortress.
An escapade in the seventh
The seventh district is arguably one of the most emblematic in Marseille. It revolves around the Baudille valley, which is characterised by rolling hills, winding streets and traditional houses. There is an atmosphere of tranquillity akin to the countryside of Provence and a panoramic view of the Mediterranean sea that is something to behold. The district is renowned for its waterfront restaurants that serve Marseillaise cuisine and local markets that reflect the city’s cultural diversity. It is fair to say that this district represents a balance between the bucolic and the buoyant.
