Marseille Off The Beaten Path Walking Tour

Wear comfortable shoes as you begin your walking tour in one of the most picturesque neighborhoods of the city: Roucas Blanc and Corniche. Feel like you're not in the city, but the countryside with so much nature around you like pine trees, pink oleanders, olive trees, and see stunning views of the sea shore. See places that tourists and a lot of locals don't know about.

Start your walking tour at the Old-Port central dock with your local guide. Visit Notre-Dame de la Garde before walking to the Roucas Blanc neighborhood. See the exceptional views of the city, the Notre-Dame church and the seashore. Discover secret places and hidden gems like the "Rocaille" style architecture. Go downhill to the Prophet's Beach. Enjoy stunning views of the sea, the islands, and the Planier Lighthouse. Climb uphill again to reach Valmer Gardens. Snap lots of pictures as you walk along the Maregraphe, the Fausse Monnaie, Maldorme Creeks and Vallon des Auffes.
