Marseille is a vibrant Mediterranean city in southern France, known for its maritime heritage and multicultural atmosphere. The Old Port is lined with cafés, seafood restaurants, and boats, while the historic Le Panier district features colourful streets and independent shops. Notre-Dame de la Garde offers panoramic views across the harbour and coastline. Local cuisine is another highlight, particularly bouillabaisse and fresh Provençal seafood.

Beyond the city, Provence offers dramatic coastal scenery, charming villages, and vineyard-covered landscapes. Calanques National Park is famous for its limestone cliffs and turquoise coves, while nearby Cassis and La Ciotat are ideal for seaside escapes.

Car rental in Marseille makes it easy to explore Provence beyond the city, from coastal drives and hidden coves to picturesque villages and historic towns, all at your own pace.
