Pointe Rouge is a beautiful, historic suburb in the south of Marseille, with white sand beaches and a harbour on one side and the Calanques National Park on the other. Whether you’re in town to go for a swim on the beach and sunbathe, hike in the national park or lay by your own back pool, it really is a beautiful part of Marseille. There are water sports available at the beach, including kayaking and paddle boarding or, if dry land is more your type of thing, there are caves to explore.
The city of Marseille is full of historical buildings, including the Notre Dame de la Garde, the Chateau Dif and the Old Port. Check out some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in town!
