Things to see and do Bouches-Du-Rhône

The Cassis Tourist and Convention Bureau plunges into the sea or almost! You will find the necessary documentation to discover the treasures of this charming city (restaurants, hotels, shops, vineyards, the casino and water activities). You will find all the information on sea excursions, kayak rentals and hiking. This is where you will get the information for your walks and hikes in the national park of the calanques.

Take the direction of the Estaque by the A 55 towards Martigues or the port by the N 568, to the Plage beach, as well as by bus line No 35 and get off at the terminus. Walk a few hundred metres and go along the railway line on the Blue Coast. The line is not electrified, but TER and cargo convoys circulate in the middle of a splendid landscape. Before the tunnel, descend on the left; drague on the sides of the road and on the naturist beach, very gay, even if here you can cross families.

Located in one of the valleys of the Estaque massif, Magic Park Land is a large amusement park for children, well equipped, well organized to allow them to spend a few hours, a half-day or even a full day, magical. Accompanied by an adult for toddlers or freely if older ones, they will be able to scare themselves by trying the Infernal Tower, navigate the Adventure River, move on the Mississippi Train tracks, board the Pirate Boat or move up a gear in the Formula One attraction. The park's new attraction for 2017: the Frisbee with its 17 m freefall. Parents will also find on site: a Texan restaurant, a saloon, a creperie… and a picnic area. Note that many shows are organized every day: cowboys, snake charmer, clown… Note that this park offers rides adapted to the youngest (measuring less than one meter) and from 2 years old but that there are not any for teenagers. An advice from Petit Futé: in case of bad weather (strong winds for example) the park can exceptionally close. Call in case of doubt before going there.

Spread throughout the city, the museums of Marseille are recognized for the quality and rich heritage of their collections, which represent almost 120,000 works: The Museum of Fine Arts of Palais Longchamp, Château Borély which now hosts the Museum of Decorative Arts, fashion and earthenware, Museum of History and Ancient Port, 26 centuries since the foundation of Massalia by the Phocéens, Memorial of the Marseillaise, in the district of Belsunce, which highlights the history with a lively and breathtaking scenography, wonderful Old Charity, the Roman Docks Museum, the MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art), the Cantini Museum, Museum of Natural History, the Grobet-Labadié Museum. The museums of Marseille, as well as the Natural History Museum and the Cabinet of Coins and Medals, all received the label "Musées de France" in 2003. The Museums Department of the Cultural Action Direction of the City of Marseille manages 12 of the museums that are presented here. To discover and rediscover in 2018!
