Notre-Dame du Mont serves up Marseille's coolest cultural cocktail with an artsy kick. Colorful murals splash across Cours Julien while vintage shops and indie boutiques beckon between North African spice shops and hip cafés. The neighborhood pulses with music venues and buzzing restaurant terraces where locals share tables under string lights. La Friche Belle de Mai keeps the creative energy flowing with exhibitions and performances. The Notre Dame du Mont metro station connects to Mediterranean beaches just 15 minutes away.

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 and related destinations

Between the old port's fishing boats and the gleaming MuCEM museum, Marseille's Mediterranean spirit shines brightest. 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.
