Just an hour's drive from the Domaine, the city of Marseille awaits you with open arms.
After parking at the Hôtel de Ville/Vieux Port car park, you arrive at the Old Port. The lapping of the boats, the cries of the seagulls, the shining sun.
The choice is yours: stroll around the port and sip a coffee or even a good Pastis, or go and explore the iconic Panier district… Pretty alleyways, staircases, graffiti, anonymous declarations of love, beautiful shops… Time stands still in this unique space.
And for a typical Southern lunch, stop and eat At Etienne's Pizzas and soups with garlic and parsley that are to die for!
Then, to end the afternoon in style, hop aboard the Bateau-Frioul-If shuttle boats and explore the Frioul Islands or the Château d'If at your leisure. We, for our part, strolled around the Frioul Islands where the view was sublime and the air crisp with the mistral wind. So, what better way to unwind than a little time on a café terrace to warm up with a good coffee and put the world to rights? ✨
It's time to go back, but if you'd like to extend your Marseille getaway, you can go for a drink at The Caravel and nibble on some tapas!
