The Mediterranean coast offers its visitors a variety of attractive settings. The choice is quite vast, so what should you do first when you stay at City Résidence Marseille? We give you the best tourist ideas, always close to our apartment hotel residence.
Things to do
The richness of the French landscape means that you can explore the area around Marseille, whatever your tastes!
For the more experienced or the curious, you can go climbing in the Calanques of Marseille. This practice is supervised by the French Mountain Climbing Federation, which lists the sites accessible to the public and the best practices for safe access.
Would you like to have a fun and sporting outing? Visit Marseille and its best sites on an electric bike tour. Accompanied by a guide who will show you the most beautiful places in the city, take an hour and a half off your stay to take a breath of fresh air by the coast.
Finally, for football fans, take advantage of your weekend in an apartment hotel to attend the Olympique de Marseille matches in the Orange Velodrome stadium located 15 minutes by car from our residence. All the home matches are available here.
Atypical restaurants
La Caravelle
A former cabaret from the 1920s and a bar-restaurant frequented by sailors in the past, this is now everyone's bar-restaurant! With a view of the Old Port and the Bonne Mère, enjoy traditional dishes prepared with care by the Caravelle team.
For about thirty euros, discover the menu (starter-main course-dessert) of specialities in a jazz atmosphere during a local concert.
Le Camas-Sutra
If you want to vary your culinary pleasures, this is the restaurant for you! Well hidden in the rue Goudard, under the sign of a butcher's shop, this restaurant is not one of them. Every month, discover a new chef and new specialities, to vary the pleasures in your mouth!
Walks
For those who love hiking and literature, a discovery in the hills of Marcel Pagnol should delight you!
The Garlaban massif, the source of inspiration for the author in his autobiographies, covers 8000 hectares and offers unique landscapes with a view of the town of Aubagne and the Huveaune river.
By car, you could go to the starting point of one of the routes offered by the massif:
But if you are more in the spirit of relaxation and holidays, you are also at the seaside, so you can go to the beach.
City Résidence suggests the Plage des Catalans, close to the Old Port, and as close as possible to our residence on rue Saint-Exupéry, from which you can cool off in the blue sea and lie on a fine sandy beach in just 15 minutes by car. What would a stay or a holiday in Marseille be without a tanning session?
