What to expect
Le Panier
The oldest district of Marseille is also one of the most visited. Located in city's historic center, a stone's throw from the Old Port, it is a perpetual reminder of the eventful history of the ancient Massalia (Marseille)
Cathedrale de la Major
It is one of Marseille's emblems because the Cathedral of the Major is unique and represents all the power of the city. It is the only cathedral built in France in the 19th century. Its spectacular dimensions are similar to those of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, which allows it to receive up to 3,000 people! This excessiveness was intended to show the power of the Phocaean city, visible from the sea.
La corniche
Drive along the corniche John Kennedy with beautiful views along the Frioul islands and Castle d'if.
Le Vieux Port
one of the most emblematic places in Marseille. It is the natural meeting place for all Marseilles residents and visitors. This is where you can feel the atmosphere of Marseille, between the fish market and the excitement of the city centre.
Le Cours Julien
The Cours Julien is "the Hipster District", the one that will allow you to shop while enjoying the peace and quiet! This district is the largest district in France dedicated to street art. Let yourself be seduced by the streets of this colourful area. It is a real neighbourhood spirit, an atmosphere that we appreciate, very atypical, especially when we come across the famous local markets: the market of the plain, the farmers' market, the creators' market, the organic market, etc.
Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde
If it were necessary to present Notre Dame de la Garde in a few words, it would be: more than 800 years of pilgrimage, 157 metres high, a breathtaking view of the entire Phocaean city and the symbol of an entire city.
Plage du Prophete
On the Corniche Kennedy, below the road, is the beach of the Prophet, one of the oldest beaches in Marseille and one of the most popular.Crowded in the summer, it is a joy for both young and old people.
Vallon des Auffes
Nestled between two cliffs, facing the sea, the Vallon des Auffes offers the impression that time stopped at Marcel Pagnol's time. It is one of the most emblematic places in Marseille. Unique, authentic, picturesque site, there are many adjectives to describe this small peaceful haven so close and so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. It is here that you will find one of the most beautiful settings to eat in a restaurant in Marseille.
Port des Goudes
‘Les Goudes’, a real little fishermen’s village on the edge of Marseille, is a very different area, made up of huts, restaurants, fortifications and close to dream spots such as ‘Callelongue’ or ‘Cap Croisette’. You will discover on this page the secrets and the history of this unusual place.
