Private Tour of Marseille's Bay and Tiny Fishing Ports
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Discovery tour of the bay of Marseille, from the 2, 600 year old town of Le Panier, Old Port to tiny fishing villages scattered along the coast - Vallons des Auffes, Pointe Rouge, Saména, Les Goudes and Callelongue, at the limit of the city. Along the way stop to visit a few of the fishing villages, some haven't changed in appearance for decades. These tiny ports make you feel you've travelled far, but you're still in the city of Marseille. Most famous of all - Les Vallons des Auffes, today an integral part of the city, created by Italien immigrants in the 17th century who made rope for boats & Les Goudes, a tiny fishing port at the extremity of the bay. Beyond Cape Croisette, Callelongue at the start of the Calanques national park. Lots of opportunity to explore along the way - our final stop return along the coast up to Notre Dame de la Garde the cities principle cathédrale, spectacular views over the city & bay of Marseille.
