Climb to the Heavens
The steps leading up to the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica in Marseille, France
Climb to the Heavens
Climb the steps to 19th-century Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, rising 150 metres above the water. At its peak is a large golden statue of the Virgin Mary and Child, said to watch over Marseille's maritime community. The basilica incorporates a renaissance-era fort that includes a serene chapel with ornate stained-glass windows.
Natural Drama
The Calanques D'En Vay bay in France
Natural Drama
At Calanques National Park, you'll find rough, white limestone cliffs that rise sharply above the sea. You can take a relaxing boat tour or even kayak in the area. The park stretches from Marseille to La Ciotat, where you'll encounter landscapes of lime rock and red conglomerate. The park is internationally known for its sublime landscapes, biodiversity and rich heritage.
Cultural Stroll
Make your way on foot down Boulevard Longchamp, with its posh 19th-century houses, tree-lined promenade and stunning Palais Longchamp, where you'll wander into a well-manicured park with a stately colonnade and fountain. It's also home to two of the city's finest museums, the Natural Museum and the Museum of Fine Art, both of which are well worth a stop.
Local Cuisine
The signature dish of Marseille is without a doubt the savoury bouillabaisse. This savoury fish stew is packed with an array of local seafood, including clams, white fish, mussels or lobster, and the broth is flavoured with fennel and pastis, a local licorice-flavoured liqueur – dive in with a crusty baguette for the full experience.
Shopping
Le Panier, just north of the port, dates back to 600 BC. While its coloured walls, narrow streets and sunny squares once made up one of the poorest districts of the city, today it's filled with trendy independent boutiques, craft shops and galleries. Cruise to Provence and look for handmade savon de Marseille, the traditional green or white soap made with olive oil that has been exported from Marseille for centuries.
