Highlights of Marseilles Accesible Cruise Excursion

Highlights of Marseilles Accessible Cruise ExcursionVisit the oldest city in France on this 6 hour Marseilles accessible cruise excursion that visits Notre Dame de la Garde, Fort-Saint-Jean and the beautiful fishing village of Cassis.

Marseilles is a 2600 year old city situated on the picturesque Mediterranean coast. Its long history is rich with art and culture, and this accessible tour explores the past and present of this ancient port city that has withstood the test of time.

Accompanied by your guide, you will  drive up to the highest point in Marseilles, where the Notre Dame de la Garde is located. This massive Catholic basilica sits high above the city and can be seen for miles.

In the small fishing village of Cassis, surrounded by white limestone cliffs, umbrella pines and vineyards descending directly into the sea, you will have opportunities to visit outdoor markets and shops, and walk/roll along the little port area where pastel houses and colorful wooden fishing boats create a great scenery for beautiful pictures.
