Cathedrale de la Major

Next, you'll visit the beautiful Cathédrale de la Major. Built in the 19th century, this stunning cathedral has long been, and still is, the first symbol that merchants and travelers see when arriving in Marseille. It reflects the beauty and influence of the Phocean city. The cathedral is considered one of the largest in France built since the Middle Ages. From this location, you'll also get a view of Marseille's commercial port and The Mucem, a modern museum featuring exhibitions on Mediterranean culture as well as contemporary art. The Mucem was built in 2013 to commemorate Marseille’s designation as the European Capital of Culture that same year. Part of the Mucem complex includes Fort Saint-Jean, a fortress built in the 17th century by King Louis XIV to protect the city’s entrance and assert royal authority.

Le Panier (pass by)

Near the cathedral, a drive through 'Le Panier' is a must. This charming old town of Marseille, with its narrow streets and colorful historic buildings, makes it easy to forget you're in a city of nearly 1 million people. While we will pass by on our way to the next destination, unfortunately, due to the small streets and limited parking, we won’t be able to stop. However, we strongly recommend exploring this beautiful area on foot during your time in Marseille.

Palais Longchamp

Our next stop is the magnificent Palais Longchamp, a true architectural gem of Marseille. Built in the 19th century to celebrate the arrival of water in the city via the Canal de Marseille, this grand monument is surrounded by lush gardens and offers a serene escape from the bustling city. The palace houses both the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Natural History, making it a cultural highlight. Though we won’t stop for long, we encourage you to take in the stunning fountains, statues, and scenic views. For those with more time, a leisurely stroll through the park is highly recommended to fully appreciate its beauty.

We’ll make a short stop here, giving you time to explore the interior, take in the incredible vistas, and capture some unforgettable photos. This stop offers a perfect opportunity to fully appreciate its beauty and the sweeping views.

La corniche

From Notre-Dame de la Garde, our journey continues along the stunning Corniche Kennedy. This scenic coastal road offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, with its sparkling blue waters stretching out as far as the eye can see. As we drive along La Corniche, you’ll pass beautiful beaches, rocky coves, and elegant 19th-century villas perched on the cliffs. The panoramic views over the bay, combined with the gentle sea breeze, make this one of the most picturesque routes in Marseille.The drive leads us to Plages du Prado and Borély, a popular seaside area where locals come to relax by the water. Here, with the sea stretching out before you and Marseille’s coastline bathed in light, we bring the tour to a close. It’s a serene and memorable way to end your journey through this vibrant city.
