Top 10 Things to Do in Marseille
Le Vieux Dock
1
This really is an ancient port where one can see the fisherman reel in their catch of the day ready to be sold by auction sale, enjoy superb seafood, or perhaps rent a motorboat for the day. Or maybe if you’d rather just sit at the waterfront cafe with a coffee and pastry and watch the expensive yachts drive into the harbour.
Le Cours Julien
2
That is known by everyone as the most fashionable area of Marseille, which is heaving with bookstores, bars, fountains, as well as a lot of shopping areas. Each and every Thursday and Saturday morning, the Plaine marketplace takes place right here. Ideal chance to purchase great souvenirs at rock bottom prices in your Marseille guided tour.
Barely Recreation area
3
An attractive park 1,000 feet up from the deep blue sea. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city pop here to chill out with a picnic and a good book. Plenty of restaurants and cafes if you don't fancy packing a picnic. It's an ideal place to relax away from the crowds. Grab a drink, take a deep breath and relax!
Notre Dame de la Garde
4
Known as the large church; this Christian church overlooks the town, the local fishermen go here to get their boats blessed. The church is beautifully restored and is an architect's dream building. Worth a visit while you are here in the town. Dress appropriately while entering. Guided tours are available.
The Château D'If
5
This small Mediterranean Castle just off the urban centre was a penal colony. It actually is simplified from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. It is worth a sightseeing tour to view this beautiful place. The views are fantastic, and you can see the visitor yachts drive away from the Ancient Harbor below.
Fort St. Nicolas
6
Constructed between 1660-1665, this fort was utilised to help with the security of the dock of Marseille. These days it really is divided into two pieces. Beyond the fort to the north-west is the Recreation area of the Pharo. It is a fabulous place to walk around the old fort and great photograph opportunities. A sightseeing tour is available to book and you will gain more knowledge by the guide.
Le Panier
