Marseille which includes a marina and boating

Old Port of Marseille

The Old Port of Marseille wraps you in 2,600 years of maritime magic where fishing boats bob alongside fancy yachts. Greek settlers started this party way back in 600 BCE, and now you get to enjoy their epic harbor hangout. The daily fish market buzzes with local energy while the mirror canopy reflects Mediterranean light in all directions. Fort Saint-Jean guards the entrance like a watchful friend. Between seafood feasts and strolls along the U-shaped harbor, you'll find narrow cobblestone streets hiding Provençal treasures. Hop on Metro Line 1 at Vieux-Port Station when your feet need a break. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings put you right in the heart of the action.

Marseille's 7th Arrondissement dazzles with its stunning Corniche Kennedy coastal road hugging limestone cliffs above the turquoise Mediterranean. Beach lovers flock to golden Plage des Catalans for swimming and sunbathing, while architecture buffs admire Belle Époque villas nestled among pine-scented hillsides. The Vallon des Auffes fishing harbor offers a picture-perfect slice of local charm with colorful boats bobbing in crystal-clear waters. Fresh bouillabaisse and local wines star at upscale waterfront restaurants with killer sunset views. Getting around is best on foot along the scenic promenade, though buses connect you to Metro Line 2 when you're ready to explore beyond this refined coastal haven.

Climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica for views that explain why painters have been obsessed with this light for centuries. The ancient Le Panier district reveals narrow streets where laundry flaps above tiny squares. At Palais Longchamps, fountains cascade dramatically beneath a palatial facade. The Calanques offer limestone cliffs plunging into impossibly blue water - nature's perfect counterpoint to urban grit. Locals debate which restaurant serves authentic bouillabaisse with the same passion they reserve for their football club. The Vieux Port transforms each morning into France's most aromatic fish market, where fishermen sell what they caught hours earlier.
