A dynamic city on the shores of the Mediterranean
Marseille is one of the oldest cities in France and has become a real metropolis. The city is full of great cultural sights, including the superb MUCEM, a museum dedicated to the Mediterranean whose beautiful gardens overlook the sea and the Vieux Port.
Its name is well deserved: the Port was established by the Greeks. Stroll along the endless rows of boats, admire the forts that protect the port, and why not, take to the sea! Many boats will take you to the Château d’If, made famous by the Count of Monte Cristo.
Or you can go further afield, to the Frioul archipelago, to admire the landscapes and the strikingly blue sea.
There are also many cruises to the Calanques de Marseille, a breathtaking national park with a unique setting. It’s sporty on swell days, and a pleasure for the eyes in all seasons.
A camping holiday in Marseille: the best of nature
The Calanques can also be visited on foot, for magnificent walks in a green setting that often lead to small, intimate beaches whose waters will remind you of the Balearics. The Calanque of Les Goudes and its charming, almost miniature village are accessible by car, but for the rest you’ll have to hike.
Your campsite in Marseille is also a perfect base to explore the Côte d’Azur. Don’t miss Cassis, with its steep cliffs and colourful harbour on the other side of the Calanques. Aix-en-Provence is also worth a visit, for its wines, its lavender fields and the surrounding mountains.
Marseille combines nature and culture in the most beautiful way. Don’t wait, book your campsite in Marseille today!
