Highlights

For the beginning of this tour, dive into the heart of the oldest district of Marseille: the Panier. Aboard the sidecar, get lost in its narrow streets between small cafés, colorful street-art facades and tiny designer stores. Then head for the Old Port where you can discover the famous fish market, stroll on the quay, watch the fishermen going out to sea and take a selfie under the Ombrière.Then, you will go along the coast passing by the unavoidable Corniche John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "the longest bank in the world", which offers an unobstructed view on the massif of Marseille as well as on the nearby islands. Then, direction the most visited monument and the emblematic figure of the city of Marseille: the Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde. The "Good Mother" offers a 360° panoramic view of the city, and you will be amazed by its architectural beauty both inside and outside. Stop at Les Goudes, a small traditional port in a picturesque setting, surrounded by huts still housing a few fishermen and hills with remnants of World War II fortifications. Enjoy the majestic landscape and the breathtaking view of the port of Marseille.

About Marseille

Marseille, France's oldest city, is a Mediterranean port of old forts, hilltop basilicas and limestone coves, and the home of bouillabaisse.

Greek sailors founded Marseille around 600 BC, making it the oldest city in France. The Vieux-Port is its centre, a long harbour ringed by cafés and the morning fish stalls, guarded by two forts at its mouth. On a hill above, the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde carries a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary and shows the harbour and the islands from its terrace.

Top-ranked sights in Marseille: Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica (La Bonne Mère), Old Port of Marseille (Vieux Port), Vallon des Auffes.
