As your coach climbs to the summit, your guide will share stories about Marseille's rich maritime heritage. From the terraces, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Old Port, the Mediterranean Sea, the Frioul Islands, Château d'If, and the colorful rooftops of France's oldest city. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde is the most magnificent building of its kind in southern France.
