The stunning natural beauty of the Calanques along the South Coast of France is a must do. We went on a boat tour which departed from Marseille (booked through Airbnb experience) which was amazing, but there are so many ways to visit this national park.

The one unique thing about this area which makes it worth visiting is the quality of the street art (or graffiti) which adds a very colourful dimension to the narrow streets. Virtually nothing was open when we visited except a few shops selling mass produced souvenirs, so there was nothing to do but take photos. I was told this was because it was no longer tourist season (which explained the almost deserted streets) and the december rush had yet to begin. Take an hour to walk slowly around and admire the views. It is worth it.
9. Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde

It’s a steep climb up to the basilica with stations of the cross along the way. Well worth it for the views over all of Marseille. It looked as though a little tourist train goes though if you don’t want to do the walk. The basilica itself is beautifully decorated with mosaics and full of a variety of thankful donations, including ship and plane models hanging from the ceiling, medals, paintings and many many marble plaques. We enjoyed reading those! People’s thanks range from being saved from submarine bombardment in the war through being healed of an ulcer to passing an exam. There’s also a crypt, gift shop, restaurant and museum but we didn’t go to the restaurant or museum. They crypt is full of votive candles and the gift shop is crowded but has a good selection of postcards.
10. Cathedrale de la Major

Marseille's impressive cathedral is one of the most important national monuments in all of France and today serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Marseille. The cathedral stands on a site that served as a cult site of the city from the 5th century AD. The structure we are facing today is mostly from the 19th century, but there are small parts of it dating back to the 12th century. But what makes Marseille's cathedral so important is not only the fact that it is the oldest church in the city, but especially the fact that its interior design is stunning. The spectacular combination of Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, together with the impressive size of the cathedral, makes the visit within the cathedral a tremendous experience. Admission is free. Opening Hours: Daily 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. How long should you visit? About half an hour.
