Parque nacional de Calanques, clube de praia e tapas em Marselha

A boat tour to the Calanques National Park is one of the most unmissable experiences while in Marseille. But please do buy tickets for a tour that includes a stop for swimming. Trust me on this one. At the end of the day, after spending the afternoon swimming and bathing, we had the most relaxed meal at the L’Oli Bé restaurant.

At the end of the morning, we visited one of the most famous places in Marseille, the basilique Notre‑Dame de la Garde.
