Itinerary

1. Marseille
Depending on the place of pickup, the time to reach our first destination will be roughly 30 minutes.
Duration: 30 mins
2. L'Estaque
Arriving at L'Estaque, you'll be greeted by the warm authenticity of a fishing village within Marseille. L'Estaque is also often referred to as the 'village des peintres' for inspiring artists like Monticelli and Paul Cézanne, among others. We'll take you to the highest point of the village, where you'll be able to gaze upon the beauty of Marseille from afar, offering you the perfect opportunity to take amazing pictures and make this day even more memorable.
Duration: 10 mins
3. Marseille
From L'Estaque to our next destination, we'll need roughly 20 minutes.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Cathedrale 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.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Le Panier
Near the cathedral, a visit to '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.
6. Marseille
From Le Panier to our next destination, we'll need roughly 20 minutes.
Duration: 20 mins
7. 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.
Duration: 10 mins
8. Marseille
From Palais Longchamp to our next stop, we'll need roughly 30 minutes.

Built in the 19th century, this basilica is a symbol of protection for sailors and locals alike, featuring stunning mosaics and intricate architecture. Known as the 'Bonne Mère' to the people of Marseille, it has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. 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.
Duration: 30 mins
10. La corniche
From Notre-Dame de la Garde, our journey continues towards Pointe Rouge, taking us 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 that line the cliffs. The panoramic views over the bay, combined with the gentle sea breeze, make this one of the most picturesque routes in Marseille. We’ll head towards the southern part of the city, arriving at Pointe Rouge, a lively coastal area known for its sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere.
Duration: 30 mins
11. Marseille
We'll continue our journey through Pointe Rouge, heading towards the charming village of Les Goudes. This picturesque fishing village, nestled between the hills and the sea, is known for its vibrant atmosphere and stunning coastal scenery. As we make our way to Les Goudes, you'll notice the rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters that define this beautiful area. The quaint harbor, filled with colorful fishing boats, adds to the village's charm. Take a moment to soak in the serene surroundings and the unique character of Les Goudes, a hidden gem that showcases the natural beauty of Marseille's coastline.
Duration: 30 mins
12. Parc National Des Calanques
We’ll make a short stop in the enchanting village of Les Goudes, where you can enjoy stunning views of L'île Maire, a small island just off the coast. This picturesque spot showcases the rugged beauty of the Mediterranean landscape, characterized by rocky cliffs and crystal-clear waters. As you take in the surroundings, you'll appreciate the stark yet captivating scenery that defines this area. This stop offers a perfect opportunity to capture breathtaking photos of the coastline and the striking contrasts of nature, making it a memorable part of our journey.
