Marseille and Palace Views

Pickup by our guide at the port identified with the Shore2Shore sign.

We will take our bus to enter the city through La Joliette, where the iconic buildings of Les Docks, former 19th-century docks, and El Silo, now Cultural and Performance Centers, are located.

We will discover the magnificent city of Marseille, starting with a visit to The Longchamp Palace (exterior visit) from the 18th century, where we will enjoy its majestic fountain and gardens.

We will pass in front of the Triumphal Arch of Louis XIV located in the square called Gate of Aix and by the Saint Charles Station with its majestic 19th-century staircase.

From this point, we will continue on foot, returning to the center to enjoy Marseille’s oldest neighborhood, Le Panier, where we will find artists’ workshops, sculptors, painters, art galleries, creators’ studios, souvenir shops, terraces, artisanal ice cream, and more.

We will see the Vieille Charité, an old hospital of Marseille built during the time of Louis XIV, now a Cultural Center, and continue the visit by entering The Cathedral of La Major from the 19th century, where Napoleon laid the first stone.

We will descend to the famous esplanade where we will see up close The MuCEM and Villa Méditerranée, splendid museums inaugurated in 2013, European Capital of Culture, connected by a walkway to the 12th-century Fort Saint John, built by the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem. Opposite, we will see The Museum of Regards de La Provence from the 18th century. From there, we will have a magnificent panoramic view of the Palace of Pharo, a 19th-century Imperial residence of Napoleon.
