Description

Set off on an adventure and explore Marseille's magnificent coastline all the way to the Parc National des Calanques on an electric bike!

This 6-7 hour excursion takes you through some of Marseille's most beautiful scenery, starting from the Vieux-Port. You'll start with a stop at the Palais du Pharo, from where you'll enjoy spectacular views of the Vieux-Port and the city. Next, you'll explore the picturesque Vallon des Auffes, a typical fishing port, before continuing on to Notre-Dame de la Garde, where you'll discover a breathtaking 360° view of Marseille and its surroundings.

After a slightly more demanding climb, you'll descend to the Corniche Kennedy, then skirt the plages du Prado and the port de la Pointe Rouge, before reaching the end of the world, the Calanque de Callelongue, a breathtaking spot where the turquoise sea meanders between the rocks.

On the program: a lunch stop where you can enjoy (at your own expense) a (very) good sandwich. You'll also have the opportunity to take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Calanque (unsupervised, but ideal for relaxing!).

The end of the route takes you through a bucolic forest and the Parc Borely, before reaching the stade Vélodrome, the emblem of Marseille sport. If the group wishes, a return trip along the seafront is also possible.

Your passionate and engaging guide will tell you the stories of this city he loves so much, offering you a unique insight into Marseille life.
