Marseille in France

Situated on the south coast of France, Marseille is the second largest city after Paris and is one of France’s major tourist’s destinations. With plenty of things to do and places to see, you will never get bored of this sunny city. With oceanic views over the Mediterranean ocean, plenty of picturesque architecture and famous eateries there is something to for everyone. With the Mediterranean Ocean on its doorstep, Marseille enjoys warm weather with temperatures ranging from 21 to 30 degrees during the summer months. There is nothing better than to relax in a coffee shop or bar, drinking a beer overlooking Vieux Port- the old port of Marseille – with the sun warming your cockles whilst admiring the range of small boats and yachts in the port.
If you have a week to spend in Marseille, it is recommended that spend at least 1 to 2 days sightseeing within the city itself. You can do this by foot and using the local transport to get around. Guided walks are available which makes it easy to get around and see the sights without having to plan your journey, which for many people is a welcomed convenience. You will get to see the sights which include the; Abbey of Saint-Victor; the Phare de Sainte Marie; La Vielle Charité and many more which are centrally located. Even if you aren’t interested in history, the buildings in and around Marseille are beautifully constructed with great detail to occupy your eyes and provide many photo taking opportunities.
After seeing the sights in the city, you can hire a car and drive to the nearby areas taking you to see the Notre Dame Del Garde which dates back to the 19th century. But best of all with car hire you will be able to drive to the hills and admire picturesque views overlooking the Mediterranean ocean. Of course you can do this by opting to travel with tour buses, but you will lose the sense of freedom you get when hiring a car. Car hire Marseille is ideal for travelling with family and it isn’t difficult to find a cheap deal online these days. If you are travelling to Marseille with family then you will appreciate the convenience of getting around and not having to organise travel tickets for everyone.
