Marseille overview

For the traveller to France who is keen on a fully-planned holiday in a large tourist bus, learning about the history of France, Marseille really isn’t the place. For those who want to soak up the stunning environment of the French Riviera while sipping locally produced red wine in some of the adorable cafes while watching yachts slowly sail by, Marseille is the perfect place to stop off for a few days, weeks or even months if time and money permits! One of the best ways to see the city of Marseille is on the water, with many of the boat hire options available. In the summer months, the warm waters of the Mediterranean are a major tourist drawcard, with the beautiful white sand beaches and the impressive backdrop of the city. Being the second largest city in France, Marseille offers a full range of dining and accommodation options.
