What places shouldn’t you miss?

For an unforgettable Marseille experience, discover the places you absolutely must visit as a couple. Don’t miss the city’s iconic landmarks, such as the well-known basilique de Notre-Dame de la Garde.

Please note: its sunsets are renowned for their great beauty. A good opportunity to spend a unique moment for two while letting the magic of the place work.

It’s impossible not to pass by the Vieux-Port. The port covers more than 24 hectares, and is punctuated by its bars, restaurants and entertainment of all kinds. Very lively, especially at night, come and admire the hundreds of boats it houses.

The cove of Malmousque is a must-see. Located in the 7th arrondissement, this little creek made up of rocks is one of the most beautiful sites in the whole city, offering the chance to swim right in the heart of Marseille.

For a romantic moment with your other half, discover one of Marseille’s most beautiful parks: le parc Borely. The park holds many secrets, not least the beautiful rose garden, a veritable haven for lovers and the perfect place to declare your love. Between its kiosk, its vegetation and its soothing calm, let yourself be seduced by the beauty of the park.

You can take advantage of this getaway to explore the surrounding area. More than seven Provencal villages surrounding Marseille have been awarded the title of “Most Beautiful Villages in France”. These include Ansouis, Roussillon and Gordes. There’s plenty to take home!
