Travel Research: Marseilles

Curated Recommendations and Guide

Have you ever dreamed of sleeping inside a masterwork from France’s most notable architect, Le Corbusier? Or sitting inside the frame of Van Gogh’s “Café Terrace at Night?” Or simply having a glorious Mediterranean beach experience away from throngs of tourists? Marseilles has a reputation for being one of the Mediterranean’s less desirable port cities. But, the city is turning itself around, offering a less-touristed view of French-meets-Arab culture, art, and culinary excellence along a sunny coast. Stay in architecturally-significant hotels, eat like royalty in 28 Michelin-recommended restaurants, and bask in lively beach clubs hidden between sea cliffs. The city also serves as a great base for a road trip to notable towns in Provence, just within an hour’s reach. Follow the trails of Van Gogh’s paintings in Arles, or visit wineries and farms outside of Aix.
