Marseille is one of the oldest cities in Europe. The city stretches between sea, port and limestone hills called “Calanques”. With a rental car, each area becomes more accessible. In the old town, narrow streets lead to quiet courtyards and cafés. Near the coast, the Corniche offers wide views over the Mediterranean. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde is still a useful reference point, perched above the Vieux-Port, you’ll assist with a panoramic 360° view over Marseille.
If you have a bit more time, Cassis and the Calanques are within reach. These coastal areas are often easier to visit with a vehicle. For clients with meetings or events at Parc Chanot or the Velodrome, planning routes ahead helps avoid traffic at peak hours. A private car lets you move efficiently between appointments or take a break when you need it.
