A Quick Guide to Marseille
Old Port of Marseille (The Vieux Port)
Marseille
No visit to this port city would be complete without heading to the Old Port of Marseille (The Vieux Port). It has hosted ships here for over 2,000 years. While here, visit one of the many restaurants and sample the fresh catch while looking out to sea. You can even hop on a boat and explore the coast. Underground parking lots are plentiful in the Old Port area, so you can leave your Marseille rental car securely while you enjoy the sights.
Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde
Rue Fort du Sanctuaire, 13006 Marseille
This Catholic Basilica is perched on the hill which towers above the city. Notre-Dame de la Garde is the city’s most popular tourist site, completed in 1864 and topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary, gilded with gold leaf. There are 150 parking spaces, so you should be fine to drive here in your holiday rental car.

During Greek times this was a bustling marketplace, now it combines housing with artisan workshops. Walk its narrow, cobbled streets and soak up the rustic ambience.
