beyond its legendary art of living, Marseille inspires and surprises with its history and modernism. The renovated Old Port and Le Panier, the oldest district in France, sit gloriously along the new waterfront and must-see national museum MuCEM, all under the watchful eye of the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garda (or “La Bonne Mère”) basilica, which offers a spectacular view of the city and the Mediterranean. To the South, explore the Calanques National Park – a sublime series of white cliffs interspersed with blue inlets – through a myriad of activities: hiking, sailing, kayaking or scuba diving.

From L’Estaque – a painters’ district to the far north of Marseille – follow in the footsteps of the Impressionists to Aix-en-Provence, a charming city bubbling with excitement year-round, where you can visit Cézanne’s studio. Then head to Arles and explore the city where Van Gogh painted his most beautiful masterpieces.
