Marseille often surprises travellers: few big cities offer villas facing the sea and a national park on their doorstep. It all happens in the south of the city.

The best areas

  • Roucas-Blanc: the renowned residential neighbourhood, with sea views.
  • Endoume: close to the Vallon des Auffes and its little harbour.
  • La Pointe-Rouge: for beaches and water sports.
  • Les Goudes: an end-of-the-world feel, at the gateway to the Calanques.

What to see

The Vieux-Port, the MuCEM and Le Panier tell the story of the city. Notre-Dame de la Garde offers the finest panorama, and the Corniche Kennedy road accompanies the most beautiful sunsets.

When to come?

Marseille can be enjoyed all year round. Spring and autumn are perfect for the Calanques, summer for the sea. With the TGV station and the airport, a short break is also very easy to organise.
