Itinerary

1

Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde

Notre Dame de la Garde is the iconic church of Marseille. From here, the panorama is superb at 360°. Affectionately nicknamed 'la Bonne Mère' by the locals, the interior of the basilica, with its Romanesque-Byzantine style, is well worth a visit.

2

Parc Borely

Parc Borely, Marseille's largest green space, is remarkable for its French and English gardens, as well as its 18th-century castle-museum.

3

Plage de la Pointe Rouge

The Pointe Rouge beach is located right next to our facility. Water activities, dining options, and swimming contribute to the reputation of the place.

4

La corniche

The Corniche Kennedy is a 3 km-long coastal road overlooking the sea. It is said to have the longest bench in the world and also the largest bike path in Marseille.

5

EVTT Provence

Perhaps our facility at Pointe Rouge is worth the trip alone! On a more serious note, on-site, you'll find a café, beverages, and luggage drop-off services, in addition to all the bike-related services, of course.
