If you want a taste of the quiet life, take a trip to the coastal village of L’estaque, a 10-minute drive from the city of Marseille, France. It’s known for its majestic views of the Marseille Bay, may it be from the viaduct with a view of the port where fishing and sailboats are docked or from up the hill where most homes are situated. The latter is a pretty popular site and has been a subject of paintings from world-renowned artists such as Paul Cezanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, as well as a muse for other creative endeavors including artists in the fields of literature and music. If you want to find out more about what L’estaque offers, it’s best to settle first in one of the vacation rentals from this list:
