Without a doubt, this place has a wide variety of things to do with kids. Be sure to take note!
Educational activities in this French town begin with a visit to Fort Saint-Jean in the area of Le Panier. This fortification was built by Louis XIV at the entrance of the Old Port of Marseille to strengthen the city's defenses.
After visiting Fort Saint-Jean, don’t forget to cross the bridge and visit the MuCEM, a museum made of "stone, water and wind" famous for its light and shadow effects.
Continue your tour of Marseille with kids with Notre Dame de La Major. This French national monument is famous for its combination of two cathedrals: a smaller one in the Romanesque style and a newer and much larger one in the Byzantine-Roman style.
Le Vieux Port, the Old Port of Marseille, offers an incredible multisensory experience for children: the scent of lavender, the taste of nougat from Provence, the sounds of the market and the colors of Marseille soap.
This place is a real treasure trove, as it brings together the best features of the Mediterranean coast. It extends over a huge area that covers the mountain range from Marseille to Cassis. Let your children enjoy its wide and diverse flora and fauna.
