Notre-Dame de la Garde
Head out over the hills to the south of the Old Port to this nineteenth century Basilica. Its enormous Romano-Byzantine basilica offers a terrace with spectacular panoramic views of Marseille and its surroundings.
Unité d'Habitation
After spending time viewing all of the marvels of the past in the historical city centre of Marseille, visit this influential experimental building. Designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier in the late 1940s, Unité d'Habitation is a great way to round out your tour of the area.
Of course, no visit to the Mediterranean coast is complete without taking some time to soak up the sun and see the beautiful waters. Hit the beaches at the Prado, Pointe Rouge, les Goudes, Callelongue, and le Prophète.
Other prominent places to visit in your Marseille car hire during your stay include The Corniche, the War Memorial on the Corniche, the Église des Réformés church, the Joan of Arc statue, Musée des Beaux Arts, Le Jardin des Vestiges, and the Theatre du Gymnase.
