La Plage Vacations from $350

Marseille’s old harbor offers centuries of history, outstanding coffee and produce, and beautiful views of the city and Mediterranean Sea.

Relax on the beach or dive into the sea from rocky calanques. Then head to the museum, all very close to Marseille’s city center.

Noted for its seaside views and waterfront views, there's plenty to explore in Prado-Perier. Top attractions like International Fair and Exhibition Center Marseille and Velodrome Stadium are major draws, and you can hop on the metro at Rond-Point du Prado Station or Perier Metro Station to see more of the city.

Marseille's 9th arrondissement, the largest district, boasts the historic Mazargues Obelisk and War Cemetery, with convenient access to Rond-Point du Prado and Sainte-Marguerite Dromel metro stations.

Périer might not have many top sights, but International Fair and Exhibition Center Marseille and Notre-Dame de la Garde are two attractions nearby that you can check out.
