Activities & Leisure in Marseille !

Summer in Marseille is a festival of good vibes! Head for the Calanques for a hiking or kayaking session in a picture-postcard setting. The turquoise waters, white cliffs, secret coves... This is the place to cool off and feast your eyes.

Feel like lounging on the beach? The Prado beaches await you for a session of sunbathing or beach volleyball. And if you're a thrill-seeker, why not take to the water on a paddle or windsurf?

In the evening, take a trip to the Old Port. Between the bars, restaurants and terraces, the atmosphere is electric. It's the perfect place to sample Marseille's nightlife, indulge in an artisanal ice cream and end the evening with your feet in the water, admiring the sunset.

What to do in winter in Marseille

In winter, forget the bitter cold - here, the sun is often out in full force! Take the opportunity to explore the Vieux-Port, with its bustling morning fish market. It's the perfect place to stroll around, eat a good bouillabaisse in a restaurant overlooking the boats and feel the soul of Marseille.

Then climb up to Notre-Dame de la Garde, the "Good Mother", for a 360° view of the whole city and the sea. Even in winter, the panorama is simply breathtaking!

And if culture is more your thing, the Mucem, with its modern architecture flirting with Fort Saint-Jean, is the perfect combo of history and modernity. Perfect for a less sunny day.
