Cathedrale de la Major

Next, you'll visit the beautiful Cathédrale de la Major. Built in the 19th century, this stunning cathedral has long been, and still is, the first symbol that merchants and travelers see when arriving in Marseille. It reflects the beauty and influence of the Phocean city. The cathedral is considered one of the largest in France built since the Middle Ages. From this location, you'll also get a view of Marseille's commercial port and The Mucem, a modern museum featuring exhibitions on Mediterranean culture as well as contemporary art. The Mucem was built in 2013 to commemorate Marseille’s designation as the European Capital of Culture that same year. Part of the Mucem complex includes Fort Saint-Jean, a fortress built in the 17th century by King Louis XIV to protect the city’s entrance and assert royal authority.

Le Panier (Pass By)

Near the cathedral, a drive through 'Le Panier' is a must. This charming old town of Marseille, with its narrow streets and colorful historic buildings, makes it easy to forget you're in a city of nearly 1 million people. While we will pass by on our way to the next destination, unfortunately, due to the small streets and limited parking, we won’t be able to stop. However, we strongly recommend exploring this beautiful area on foot during your time in Marseille.

Our next stop is the magnificent Palais Longchamp, a true architectural gem of Marseille.

The palace houses both the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Natural History, making it a cultural highlight. Though we won’t stop for long, we encourage you to take in the stunning fountains, statues, and scenic views. For those with more time, a leisurely stroll through the park is highly recommended to fully appreciate its beauty.
