The City of Marseille

If you’re stopping in Marseille, just an hour’s drive away, you simply must explore the city’s must-see attractions. What would Marseille be without the Old Port? Since ancient times, it has been one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Renovated in 2013, it’s a must-visit spot for everyone—perfect for strolling, grabbing a bite to eat, stopping by a bistro, or picking out some Marseille soap in the souvenir shops…

Continue your stroll to Notre Dame de la Garde, or the “Bonne Mère.” This basilica, built on La Garde Hill, is well worth a visit and offers an exceptional panoramic view of the sea and the islands. An iconic symbol of Marseille, Notre Dame de la Garde watches over sailors, fishermen, and the people of Marseille.
