Bed and breakfast in Marseille

The 3 must-try activities during your holiday in Marseille

Your B&B rental in Marseille wouldn't be quite complete without a dose of adventure, a touch of culture and a gourmet moment close to the city. Whether you're travelling as a couple or in a small group, these experiences appeal to travellers for their diversity, views and ease of access from the centre or seafront, day or night, whatever your type of accommodation. Here are three ideas to incorporate into your programme, taking price and reviews into account, whether you're more into flats or B&Bs.

1. Hiking in the Calanques National Park

To get some fresh air and a feast for the eyes, set off to explore the Parc national des Calanques, a must-see near Marseille. Paths, coves and cliffs offer spectacular views of the Mediterranean, ideal for a sporting outing or a more leisurely stroll before returning to enjoy a restful night in your accommodation. It's an activity that perfectly complements a self-catering holiday, especially if you like to alternate between the city centre and the wild coast.

Address : Parc national des Calanques, 13009 Marseille

2. Dive into the city's history at the Mucem

For a cultural interlude, head to the Mucem, one of the most popular venues in travellers' reviews. With its remarkable architecture, captivating exhibitions and walkways offering superb views over the Old Port, it's an ideal visit to make during your holiday, whether you're staying in a flat or a bed and breakfast. Easily accessible from the centre, the museum fits in very well with a short-let programme, even on a single night.

Address : Mucem, 7 Promenade Robert Laffont, 13002 Marseille

3. Taste the local flavours at the Marché de Noailles

To feel the beating heart of Marseille, nothing beats the Marché de Noailles. Spices, fruit, fresh produce and local specialities make up the perfect gourmet stroll to keep your holiday meal prices in check, while discovering another side of the city. With two pers or more, you can fill your basket, improvise a picnic, then head back to your B&B rental for a quiet night's sleep, without giving up the atmosphere of the centre.

Address : Marché de Noailles, Place des Capucins, 13001 Marseille
