Head to the MuCEM to discover more about Marseille's history and appreciate the remarkable art collections spanning over 4,000m² of exhibition space. The building itself is a work of art.
An emblematic monument
A true symbol of Marseille, the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde dominates the landscape. Overlooking the city, the one nicknamed "La Bonne Mère" offers a magnificent view of the Mediterranean.
Try the climb on foot or drive up to this must-see monument. It's one of the must-sees during a stay in Marseille, even if it's only for two days.
One night at the Hotel in Marseille
In the evening, after a day in the city center, at the Old Port, and at the foot of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, stay in a hotel in Marseille. Choose Le Provencia: you'll find comfortable rooms, pleasant service, and a warm welcome.
Consider booking a hotel near the Old Port; you'll be ideally located for exploring the city.
An excursion to the Calanques
If time permits, head to the Calanques de Marseille. You'll enjoy breathtaking scenery, between the green of the pines and the blue of the water. Accessible on foot or by car, depending on the cove, they offer a pleasant and relaxing setting.
Treat yourself to a few moments of relaxation or rent a canoe or a paddleboard to explore the coves from the sea. Among the best known are the Calanque de Sormiou, the Calanque de Sugiton, and the Calanque de Morgiou.
A gastronomy to taste
