Tips on renting in Marseille

Getting Around

When you visit Marseille, the vibrant heart of the Cote d'Azur in France, two must-see attractions stand out for families. Start your adventure at the Old Port of Marseille, where you and your kids can watch colorful fishing boats, sample fresh seafood, and stroll along lively promenades lined with cafes. Then, take a family-friendly boat ride to Château d’If, the legendary island fortress with sweeping sea views and fascinating history that will capture everyone’s imagination. Both spots offer unforgettable moments for your family’s Cote d’Azur getaway.

What to Pack

Pack your family’s favorite swimsuits and sun hats for sun-drenched days at Marseille’s Plage du Prado, where sparkling Mediterranean waters invite sandcastle building and gentle swims. In the cooler months, layer up with cozy sweaters and windbreakers for breezy strolls along the Vieux-Port or city parks. If your adventure extends to winter, bring warm jackets and ski gear for a quick trip to the Alpes-Maritimes region’s family-friendly resorts like Isola 2000. Don’t forget travel chargers, favorite snacks, and a camera to capture every joyful moment together.
