We did a boat tour in the entire harbor area. It is an interesting tour with much information about the ships and the area. The tour is only in French language but you get a sheet with information to most of the visited spots.

(Translated by Google) The Toulon harbor is a harbor located on the French Mediterranean coast, in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is bordered by the Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée metropolitan area and includes the towns of Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer, and Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Used since antiquity by Greek and then Roman ships, it now houses the civilian and military port of Toulon. It is surrounded by several protective forts, such as the Fort of Six-Fours, still in use, as well as several others like the Fort of Balaguier, now decommissioned and constituting an important part of the military heritage. History Military confrontations, shipwrecks, and scuttling edit The harbor and its surrounding areas have been the scene of military clashes between France and various belligerents throughout the centuries. Notable battles include the Battle of Cap Sicié in 1744, the Siege of Toulon in 1793, and the Battle of the Hyères Islands in 1795. The harbor has also been the site of shipwrecks, such as that of La Lune, returning from a military expedition to North Africa in 1644, which resulted in the deaths of over 700 sailors and soldiers. It was also the location for the scuttling of the French fleet in November 1942, to prevent it from falling into German hands. (Original) La rade de Toulon est une rade située sur la côte française de la Méditerranée, dans le Var en région Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur. Elle est bordée par la métropole Toulon-Provence-Méditerranée et notamment les communes de Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer et Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Utilisée depuis l'Antiquité par les navires grecs puis romains, elle abrite aujourd'hui le port civil et militaire de Toulon. Elle est entourée de plusieurs forts protecteurs, comme le fort de Six-Fours, encore utilisé, ainsi que plusieurs autres comme le fort de Balaguier maintenant réformés et constituant un important patrimoine militaire. Histoire Affrontements militaires, naufrage et sabordage modifier La rade ou ses abords sont le théâtre militaire d'affrontements entre la France et différents belligérants au fil des siècles. On peut citer pour les principales, la bataille du cap Sicié en 1744, le siège de Toulon en 1793, la bataille des îles d'Hyères en 1795. La rade est aussi le lieu de naufrages comme celui de La Lune de retour d'une expédition militaire en Afrique du Nord en 1644, provoquant la mort de plus de 700 marins et soldats. Elle est aussi le cadre du sabordage de la flotte française en novembre 1942, pour ne pas tomber dans les mains allemandes.

(Translated by Google) Cours Lafayette is a pedestrian street in downtown Toulon, lined with shops, mainly Tunisian restaurants/bakeries/cafés, street markets, and entertainment, connecting the port/old town area to the upper part of the city. It is considered the city's vibrant heart, a "Provençal mall" where people stroll, where stalls, meetings, exchanges, and the daily market are held. Cours Lafayette hosts one of the largest open-air markets in Toulon, stretching for nearly a kilometer, with stalls selling food, non-food products, flowers, local produce, and more. The Cours Lafayette market takes place every morning (except Mondays), from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for food and flower products, and in the afternoon from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for the non-food street market.  The avenue is also nicknamed "the cobblestone of love": in the past, the people of Toulon came to this street to stroll, chat, and wander.  The singer Gilbert Bécaud, a native of Toulon, popularized the Cours Lafayette market in his song "Les Marchés de Provence."  The former bishopric of Toulon is located on Cours Lafayette. The building in its current form dates from the reconstruction of 1786, and it served successively as a bishop's palace, then for administrative, educational, and cultural purposes.  The Castel-Chabre department store was an institution on Cours Lafayette: established in 1894, it was located at numbers 71-77 of the street. It lasted until 2014 (approximately 120 years).  Along the Cours, there are various old fountains, for example the "Basket Fountain," dating from 1939, which adorns the side of the courtyard. Poems are inscribed on two sides of its pedestal.  The Cours Lafayette has borne this name since 1830. The "Provençal mail" style courtyard stands out from the surrounding medieval fabric: its developments (alignment, esplanades, shops, pedestrianization) make it more "modern" than the winding streets of the old town.  Over the decades, the Cours Lafayette has undergone renovations and urban developments to pedestrianize it, accommodate the market, and integrate its heritage (fountains, facades, etc.).  Ancient remains still exist beneath the course: according to Tripline, today, when walking along the Cours Lafayette, one walks on remnants of Toulon's medieval ramparts. (Original) Le Cours Lafayette est une artère piétonne du centre-ville de Toulon, bordée de commerces, restaurants/boulangeries/cafés tunisiens principalement, marchés de rue, animations, qui relie la zone du port / vieille ville vers le haut de la ville.  Il est considéré comme le cœur vivant de la ville, un “mail provençal” où l’on flâne, où se tiennent les étals, les rencontres, les échanges, le marché quotidien.  Le Cours Lafayette accueille un des plus grands marchés en plein air de Toulon, étiré sur près d’un kilomètre, avec des étals alimentaires, non alimentaires, fleurs, produits locaux, etc.  Le marché du Cours Lafayette se produit tous les matins (sauf le lundi), de 7h30 à 12h30 pour les produits alimentaires & fleurs, et l’après-midi de 15h à 19h pour le marché forain non alimentaire.  L’avenue est également surnommée “le pavé d’amour” : autrefois, les Toulonnais venaient sur ce cours pour se promener, discuter, flâner.  Le chanteur Gilbert Bécaud, natif de Toulon, a popularisé le marché du Cours Lafayette dans sa chanson Les Marchés de Provence.  L’ancien évêché de Toulon se trouve sur le Cours Lafayette. Le bâtiment date dans sa forme actuelle de la reconstruction de 1786, et il a servi successivement comme palais épiscopal, puis pour des usages administratifs, scolaires, culturels.  Le magasin Castel-Chabre était une institution du Cours Lafayette : créé en 1894, il était situé aux numéros 71-77 du cours. Il a perduré jusqu’en 2014 (environ 120 ans).  Sur le Cours, on trouve diverses fontaines anciennes, par exemple la “fontaine dite du Panier, datée de 1939”, qui orne le côté du cours. Sur deux des faces de son piédestal sont inscrits des poèmes.  Le cours Lafayette portait ce nom depuis 1830. Le cours façon “mail provençal” se distingue du tissu médiéval environnant : ses aménagements (alignement, esplanades, commerce, piétonnisation) le rendent plus “moderne” que les rues tortueuses de la vieille ville.  Au fil des décennies, le Cours Lafayette a vu des rénovations, des aménagements urbains pour piétonniser, pour accueillir le marché, pour intégrer le patrimoine (fontaines, façades, etc.).  Des vestiges anciens subsistent sous le cours : selon Tripline, on marcherait aujourd’hui sur des vestiges des remparts médiévaux de Toulon, lorsque l’on arpente le Cours Lafayette. 

(Translated by Google) Immersing yourself in the market is a joy! Let the sea breeze brush against you, and the smells and sounds envelop you! (Original) L’immersion au marché est agréable ! Laissez le vent marin vous effleurer, les odeurs et les sons vous couvrir !

Supper

Nice mountain to catch a bird's eye view of Toulon. Despite the overcast sky, the views were great. The queue to the cable car was rather long... took us about 2 hours to get to our turn cos there as a short lunch break for the operators. Everyone was patient though. It is best to allocate half a day for this sightseeing as the journey itself takes time. There are places of interest at the top and this could easily take a couple of hours if you want to enjoy the moment.

We were here early, as the queues grow fast. I would recommend coming early. Especially in a warm / hot day. Cables are smooth and fast to climb or return down mountain. Beautiful views from cable car, and amazing at the top looking down onto Toulon. Highly recommended.

A cool spot! I went on Saturday, and there were absolutely no lines or crowds. The whole visit from beginning to end took about an hour, since both the war museum/memorial at the top and the restaurant were closed so wasn’t sure what else to do in there rather than to admire the view. But the ride itself was magnificent, and the scenery truly left me in awe. I also walked all the way from the city centre - it’s a bit uphill, but overall a good walk (about 2 km), very doable.

Visited Toulon via cruise ship voyager and if you choose to do anything in Toulon make this your priority! It was a 30 minute walk from the port to cable car, €9 for a return trip, the views of Toulon are absolutely stunning, if you enjoy hiking there are numerous trails from the top, we simply took the trip and soaked in the panorama on a beautiful day.

The Mountain Above the Sea – Mont Faron Rising high above the harbor city of Toulon, Mont Faron isn’t just a mountain — it’s a silent guardian that has watched over the Mediterranean for centuries. But getting to its summit isn’t a climb — it’s a glide. A bright red cable car swings gently above the rooftops and trees, lifting visitors from the busy streets to the sky. As the city shrinks below, and the sea stretches wide in every direction, the journey itself feels like a moment suspended in time. At the top, Mont Faron offers more than breathtaking views. It's a place of history, with a memorial to the Allied landings in Provence during World War II — a reminder that even the most peaceful places have witnessed moments of courage and conflict. But perhaps the real magic lies in standing still at the summit, watching the sun paint golden paths on the water below, and feeling for a moment like you're on top of the world — with all of Toulon quietly at your feet.

This is a fantastic value. Great views, friendly staff, and many hiking paths to explore at the summit including a zoo, chapel, and restaurant. Plus you can buy the bus and cable car pass as a combination for only 10euro. The bus drops right at the entrance with no connections required

Very fun. Short but enjoyable. Felt clean and safe. The view from the top was great.

The story behind the zoo is really beautiful and shows that the keepers of this zoo have a big heart for animals. Almost all the animals here are feline. The animals look very well taken care of. There is also a lot of info about the animals so it’s not only nice to see but also educational. Some enclosures however seem a little to small and could use some modernization. But they seem to have a lot of toys to play with and they all had fresh (some even streaming) water in there enclosure. Overall the animals looked very happy. I would go again if i’m ever in the neighborhood again. (Especially for cute little retired Yvonne the raccoon)

They keep good carers of the animals it was clean and fun place to wisit. Go before feeding time 15:00 it get really grounded at 14:00 lot of kids come that time cos they let kid help whit the feeding

Tough ride to get there and in the zoonot really enjoyable ride if you have small kids that require a buggy. It's very steep and lots of holes in the ways. Yes, very small zool - we were done in <30min, and we spent a lot of time with each animal we saw (we saw 7, including the donkey and goat). The cages seemed indeed small, and everything looked very ramped down (fences were taped with wire that they still hold 😂😂). It's definitely not worth the ride, but maybe we are just used to different experiences when it comes to zoos... On the positive note, they started to refurbish a lot of cages. All the best for the future to the team that was nice and especially the animals.

The cages are so tiny that I felt bad for the animals. The zoo is also in a very poor condition, but they are busy renovating right now. It took us only 20 minutes to look at everything, so 12.50 for a ticket was quite expensive. I regret my visit.

Nice little zoo, but life seems to be boring for these cats. Also, lots of empty cages. But still, nice visit

Fantastic zoo! Staff are really passionate and are clearly doing a great job caring for these animals. It’s important to visit as the money spent on the tickets will improvise their facility and make enclosures even better. Had a great visit!

Fun for an hour and a half. It is very tired and is in desperate need of investment in everything. To be positive, the animals appear in good condition and well looked after. None of them looked insane like the polar bear at Glasgow zoo. My daughter enjoyed herself. The picnic tables have a great view. April 2022..back again. We had a good time. All the cats were awake and moving about.

Two advice upfront: 1. Be smart - buy online!! Way cheaper. 2. Next door is a supermarket. Get your things there before getting in. In general: It’s ok for kids or teens. As an adult you actually pay the entry fee just to take care of your kids when they’re too young to get in alone. There is no swimming pool or other „attractions“ (just) for adults than slides. And for the slides you wait forever to get on (and we went on a Monday during school time). Fees: The locker is 5 Euro extra, parking is 5 Euro, sun loungers are 4 Euro/each, they try to sell you photographs (15 Euro/1pic, or a bundle incl. plastic key chains for 35 Euro) taken by pupils/students… In summary: way too expensive (unfortunately you can only buy day passes) and a little outdated.

It's an OK day out, nothing more. The rides are pretty basic and haven't been updated for a while and most of them are two person rides, so bear that in mind. We chose fast pass which works to a point, it means you can jump the initial queue but not the queue when on the stairs of each ride. Perhaps worth €30 each but only just. We arrived as it opened at 10am and left by 1.30pm by which time the place was packed. Plenty of shaded areas you can lay a towel if you want to stay all day but they get taken quickly, not that we intended to do so.

Attractions in the aquapark correspond to what is shown on the website. At least the small part we could use. Unfortunately it was difficult. The lines are very long. Sometimes we had to wait more than an hour. Of course, you can buy a "fast pass" and get in without waiting in line, but then a visit to the park becomes a financial absurdity. Do not count the hours the park is open as hours of fun. All attractions are shut down about 45 minutes before closing time. Aqualand is definitely more focused on making money than customer satisfaction. For me, my visit was a waste of time, money and disappointment.

Long ques High prices Crappy food Low service levels Worn out atmosphere most places in the park Our kids were disappointed and frankly so were we after paying 130 euros (1 adult, 3children ) for some hours in this crowded worn down place that had seen better days. After spending 35 minute waiting for a 20 seconds ride most places we left with an irritation and a promise to warn other people of wasting a day here instead of enjoying the beautiful alternatives in St Cyr. Kr Bo, Denmark. 🇩🇰

Disappointing and overpriced. Aqualand Saint-Cyr-Sur-Mer charges a high entry fee but offers very little in return—no guidance, poor organisation, and unhelpful staff. I completely agree with the many negative reviews already posted. The funniest part? Instead of addressing the complaints, customer service just copy-pastes the same generic response to every negative review. It really shows how little they care about improving the experience.

Far too busy. Not enough sun loungers. People smoking everywhere. 30 euro to skip the lines for rides. Would avoid if possible.

OVERCROWDED. Not many places to sit down due to overcrowding. Queues are long with some, such as the rapids, being over an hour with most being >30 minutes. Doesn't help that fast pass, which is an extra ~30 Euros, bypass the queue which causes an extra queue right before the slide. Do not eat here the food is super pricey (17 euro for a burger!). 2 stars cause, despite the long wait times, the slides are decent. My fav was the rapids Summary: Overcrowded, food is expensive and not worth it, buy the fast pass if you have the money

Great scenic garden with amazing views. Worth walking to the top and also get a refreshing swim on the clear waters. You can access the water entering the park.

"A breathtaking landscape — completely different from the typical beaches of France. After the first cove, there's another one that's quieter and less crowded. If you go a bit further, you can sit on the rocks and dive into the crystal-clear water. The view is absolutely rewarding!"

Very nice views and beach areas but pretty crowded and rocky. If you can find a spot to squat you will have a good time. Parking is the hardest part once you tackle that you are set.

Unbelievably busy, paid parking but park was closed for safety. Could still go down to the beach but everyone was so packed close together we didn't bother. Nice to walk about the pathway and take pics but that's it....

Nice clear water. Rocky shore but not busy. Easy hike through the gardens.

Park maintenance has seriously deteriorated. There are virtually no signs to help you navigate which is not that much of a problem as there is Little to see

Beautiful beach just 10 minutes walk from the harbour

The western theming is excellent and the park is clean! The rides are quite close together so no unnecessary walking needed. Free and spacious parking available. Bags are checked before entry. Buying tickets was fast. We enjoyed our day and our 4yr old son managed to ride majority of rides alone or accompanied. There are a lot of new/unusual rides we've not seen before. I took one star off however due to ride times as there is only one ride operator per ride and this holds the queues up. Also, there is no shade/covers/canopies for most rides whilst queuing and it does get very hot. I would recommend the water sprays/mists around the park to take the edge off the humidity.

Great amusement park, themed after the USA's far west, with lots of rides for all sizes and ages.

Spent the day at OK Corral. Rides are Ok but nothing overly exciting. Gold Rush probably the best ride out of all. Kids had fun though. Service poor at best.. see transcript of hilarious conversation with Bartender: note temperature was scorching close to 40 degrees Me: 2 Beers and a large bottle of water BT: Sir we only have small bottles Me: OK.. 3 small bottles of water then. Can I have them nice and cold? BT: No sir the fridge is not working well and water is not cold Me: Ok.. can I have some Ice? BT: No sir, we dont have ice Me: could I have the beer in some Glass glasses and not plastic cups? BT: No sir only plastic cups here Me: could I al least have a slice of Lemon? BT: we don’t have lemons here.. this is not a NY bar, this is a western bar, we have what we have.. €26 please!

It was nice its more for children than adults ..... and some games couldnt play cause of my weight i couldn't fit ....we didnt know that some food place close at 2pm so it was a disappointment i wanted to taste the burger .... but also the hotdog was tasty

We went there on a Friday in July. There was basically no need to wait for all the facilities. There were performances more or less every two hours. The actors and actresses were very very professional, and the attitude of all the staffs were very nice even when the kids kept asking for playing the same game repeatedly. Children under one meter are free, and there are many items to play. Very good experience! Great for little ones.

Wonderful staff, excellent products, highly maintained quality, Very responsive..

Absolutely great theming!!!! I also loved the Gold Rush Ride! No extreme thrill rides here but that’s ok. The western theme was so greatly done. Also we went around Halloween and there was a lot of Halloween decorations too. Loved it!!

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything was charming and perfect. The food delicious. I do hope we will return soon.

The stay at the hotel was absolutely flawless. The hotel staff was so friendly and always helpful. The hotel and services delivered fully at all fronts and often went well above my expectations. There were small details that just elevated the experience to a whole new level. Restaurant is superb, with food so fresh you can feel all of the aromas. Breakfast service is as good, which is often missed. Hope to come back many times.

All together a beautiful place with a stunning garden. Great food and wine list. Note: if you’re not staying in the hotel, you will be treated as a 2nd tier guest, sat in a less pretty room and assigned the trainee waiter. Ask for the main room for bookings inside.

The hotel experience wasn’t very satisfying. For a start It’s rather a 4* than a 5* hotel. The luxury touches of 5* hotel are missing and so is the service. It’s an okay place to stay for a one night in you want to have a dinner at the restaurant but not for longer. We booked the hotel because it had an Alain DuCasse restaurant but after we already made a reservation it turned out that restaurant is shut on Tuesday and Wednesday. After we got informed about that in the booking confirmation email we asked to cancel the reservation but where not allowed to cancel free of charge…. Since the hotel restaurant was shut the reception offered to book a dinner in a nearby restaurant La Craie Des Mets, sadly the food at that restaurant was very average, overpriced and served pretty cold, what’s worst it gave my partner a very serious FOOD POISONING. He had a sleepless night lying on a bathroom floor trying to survive the night. The next day was also lost as he still didn’t feel well and suffered with pain and diarrhea. Really not want you want on the first day of holidays in France… I did expect that the staff would go out of their way to try an offer a complimentary breakfast or help me to get a refund for this disgraceful meal we had after I told them what happened. But sadly this didn’t happen to the level of service you would expect from a 5* hotel. And although after an hour spend in front of reception desk the hotel staff had a few conversations with La Craie Dea Mets manager all I could hear is that it’s not the restaurant fault that my partner got so sick. Well he doesn’t have any food allergy and never had a reaction like that to a seafood so the food served must have been off or not prepared well. This was our first holiday in South of France and we won’t be back. We been to many places in Europe or remote islands like Maldives, Mauritius and never had such a bad experience.

Highly recommended! Three days into our trip through southern France, we found refuge from the heat and crowds of the Cote D’Azur at Hostellerie de l’Abbaye de la Celle. We were greeted by Maxine who ushered us into a bucolic courtyard where he served us the chef’s refreshing grapefruit sorbet, while we rested from our journey. Here we met the perfect combination of an extraordinary location, exceptional food, and the world’s most solicitous staff. A special thanks to the chef for making my wife a special gluten-free chocolate cake; to the fantastic concierge team of Alix and Claire; to the breakfast team of Claudia and Eric (Claudia, we will never forget your inspired suggestion to go to St. Baume de Marie-Madeleine); to Zachary for delivering us breakfast well before his shift so that we could go hiking in Cassis; and to manager Dominique for his tremendous hospitality. Don’t miss this beautiful gem centrally located in the south of France. Zen and Donna

Had lunch last year with friends, everything was fantastic and everyone were really happy. This year 2020 it was a complete disappointment. The food was extremely heavy and fatty. Pity there were no much of vegetables or anything more fresh to suggest then fried and oily food on a hot summer afternoon.

I have to admit that our trips to L'Abbaye de la Celle has turned in to a nice tradition. This is the first visit since 2019, "only" because of the Covid-19 pendemic. The place did not let us down. Surroundings are still magnificent, in the middle of rural Provence. Kitchen is still impeccable - an exercise in art both for the eye and taste. Service is as allways top. We will be back at easter 2022

No fire, no smoking and no litter please ! Gemstone water at the foot of dizzy white cliffs. A good physical condition is better since you may need at minimum about 1h of walking one way from the parking to the beach. Check on the internet if the path is open, it closes on dry and windy times to limit wildfire risks and you need a reservation (free) during summer. You can also choose to dive there, which is a great way to see the Mediterranean fishes near Riou, where fishing is prohibited.

Stunning place, rugged mountain cliffs perched above the mediteranean. Hiked the red-white trail from les Baumettes to Cassis, aprox 25km. Tough terrain, sometimes became quite exposed, not your average walk in the park, attention to the path and markings is key. Losing or missing a sign can lead you to the middle of nowhere. Bring plenty of water.

Visiting the Calanques National Park was an absolutely sublime experience. The turquoise waters are breathtaking, and the way the sea crashes against the mountains creates a powerful, almost overwhelming sensation. I had the chance to discover it on a yacht, which made the experience even more unique and luxurious, allowing me to fully enjoy the hidden coves and majestic cliffs. The contrast between the crystal-clear sea, the bright limestone rocks, and the calm Mediterranean atmosphere is unforgettable. A true natural wonder that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marseille.

Great place to spend time if you are traveling with kids. Lots of different animals to see. Interesting facts mentioned in attractive way for kids to read.

Beautiful national park on the Mediterranean coast. We were here rock climbing for a week. You could stay here a year and never do the same 2 climbs. So much to explore and climb. Incredible rock and views. Definitely do the 6 pitch 5.10a Arete de Marseille. Some of the more popular climbing areas are a little slick from wear. Still, worth it and highly recommend for a climbing trip!!

Well maintained national park with lots of properly marked hiking options! Good cliff diving experience can be gained at the calanque d’en Vau, for the adrenaline seekers! Pack a lot of water (minimum 2 ltrs per person) and supplies because one you leave from Parking du loggison, there’s no water source, ANYWHERE!!

It is beautiful there! The Sea looks very great! And the water is so clear! It is Wonderful to swimm and hiking!

Amazing hike with rewarding views. There’re many tracks to suit hikers with different fitness levels. You can get here by public transport or catch a ride share which will save you some time. It’s such a nice escape to get some sea breeze and fresh air.

It's a life time experience. You can trek. You can dive or swim or you can enjoy the boat ride. Yeah.. all at a single place with amazing view. It's nothing short of mesmerizing. Great view and great experience

My boyfriend and I did an incredible 17km hiking loop passing through Calanques d’en Vau starting from Cassis (picture attached of our route, listed as a trail running route found on Kamoot). Absolutely stunning hike which is WELL worth the effort! The natural park feels and is completely unspoilt due to no car access etc. A MUST if you are anywhere near this area :)

Nature here is amazing. I had some difficulties to find the right path, without google maps was impossible and not always very clear. However, if you like to walk and/or hike, this place is for you. Cristal water and small beaches, we went end july and not a lot of people. Of course you need to be lucky (like anywhere) that the few people you have are not loud. We took the tellow path. This one is not suitable for kids! But hey, it’s nature!:) A bit sad that in the sea you can se a lot of boats but then the park is closed to the public. Environmentally the impact of boats is way higher then just people walking. However, it was a great experience.

A wonderful place with tracks of various difficulties. Whether it’s a chill walk or an adventurous day you are looking for, les Calanques are the place for you

This is easily one of the coolest parks I've been to. It's absolutely beautiful with plenty of well-marked hiking trails. There's also plenty of climbing areas, some of which require far-from-obvious trails that require scrambling or rappelling at times. Rarely, you'll find chains at the extremely scrambly sections.

At the heart of Merseille, it is both terrestrial and marine: it is the only national park in Europe to be periurban and, in the Mediterranean. It is a nice short escape from busy city life. Get a ticket from Old port. They have 2.15 hours and 3.5 hours two different journey schedule. Ticket cost 32 and 38 euros. If you want swimming or stopping more extra.

The 1.3 kilometer walk up to this place is PAINFUL... the view at the top is amazing. There are similar views, however, all around Provence where the climb isn't so steep. So, unless you're going up the mountain for some specific, religious region... then I would just seek out similar views elsewhere. In fact... if you are on some sort of religious pilgrimage... you may be disappointed when you get to the top (if you didn't already know what you would see when you got there). It seems at some point during the 1950s or 60s someone saw fit to kitsch the place up with some lights pretty gaudy religious trinkets There's also a gift shop... which was thankfully closed. I was legitimately expecting just a straight-up cave... Not the little mini-chapel that was there. The giant sculpture in front of the cave is beautiful. Everything else just seems sort of tacky. I'm left to wonder what it must've looked like in the 1920s... or 1820s.

A quiet walk beneath the tall beech and oak forest of Sainte-Baume leads to one of Provence’s most meaningful sites: the Grotte de Marie-Madeleine. Tradition holds that Mary Magdalene spent her final years here in contemplation. The air feels still, almost suspended in time, and the view opens toward the valley like a slow exhale. Whether one comes for history, for faith, or simply for a moment of silence, the cave reminds us that retreat can also be a form of strength.

We visit today, October 17 2022. It was fantastic, very spiritual and inspirational. It is a bit of a hike to get up to it, but worth the hike. FYI I am 65 and in decent but certainly not exceptional shape. I stopped when I was tired but made it up. It was worth it!

Magical place. We happened to come when a Mexican pilgrimage had finished their visit and began to play guitar and sing. It was mesmerizing. The grotto itself is a special place and the view from above is nothing short of magnificent.

One of the holiest and most inspiring places you can visit. The emotion walking up to the hike is overwhelming. Mary lived many years there braving the heat and cold after Jesus died. She was a great Catholic disciple in the area and the beauty she left is unmatched anywhere in the world. Please be respectful and do not wear yoga pants.

Amazing place.

BEWARE OF STOLEN ITEMS IN PARKING LOT we came and had an amazing time, locked the car with our suitcases and a backpack with two laptops in it. We came back to the car with no apparent issues and drove to our next hotel, only then did we realize the laptops and chargers were stolen. Even with the bags out of visible site, the car locked and a 1.5 hike, the laptops were stolen. If you come here with electronics, take them with you-it’s worth it.

Amazing experience, fully immersed in the past triomphe of the club and recent progress. The tour was self taught, lots of signpost easy to follow. Love it!

Orange Velodrome is a second biggest stadion in France after Saint Denis stadion in Paris. We went there to watch a football match between O.Marseille and Le Havre, which was one of the League 1 matches of the french championship. The place has a unique architecture and acoustics, so it has been used for a number of pop concerts also. The entrance to the stadion is more then well organized, with more then welcoming and pleasant staff (at least when it's about entrance of the ladies to the match). The access to the stadion is quite wide, which makes a vast number of people enter the tribune in relatively short amount of time. Public transportation leads you very close to the main two entrances of the stadion that are set on the opposite sides, and infront of the stadion you can buy drinks and fast food on small stands. Everything is well marked, so you can't get lost. Hygiene in the toilets is OK considering it's a public space and there is a lot of staff members that can lead you to your seat's among which there is not much of those that are speaking English. Lighting conditions are great, as well as the acoustics but the biggest plus is definitely the atmosphere among fans of the O. Marseille. I recommend entering about half an hour earlier, so that you don't miss out on the friendly atmosphere among the fans. If you're a fan of football, you'll be thrilled that fans are cheerleading for almost all of the game time, without any incidents or a bad behavior. Certainly a must see! "Droit au but"!

We attended Ed Sheeran concert in June and it was amazing.Everything was great the sound..the lights..the fireworks!!We went eith our son 9y old and was safe. It was a bit difficult to find a parking place but at the end we managed.If you go to a big concert I recommend to go minimum 30min earlier to park your car.

We were at a Bruce Springsteen concert. A beautiful stadium with a very good flow of people entering and leaving it. There is a huge parking lot nearby.

A very wonderful place. We just ended a 2 days AI (M.I.A) program. The stadium is an awaresome place to visit...:

Went to watch Ed Sheeran's concert. They opened the gates on time and it only took less than 5 mins to enter. The signages were big so you won't get lost where Porte and Block you'll be in. The stadium is indeed spacious but the movements were limited when seated. You either have to leave your seat so others can walk their way to their own seat or move your body sideways. The aisle is too narrow. But overall, it was fine.

An amazing experience to visit the Stade Vélodrome, especially if you're a OM fan.

Excellently organized train. Buy tickets in the center near the port, it departs often, there are many of them, in two directions (red and green, depends on the part of the city you want to visit). There are headphones next to you, you choose the language and a tour of the chalk. There is quite a long way to go, in my opinion the route leading to Notre Dame is mandatory, because everything about it and around it is indescribable and imposing. The car leaves you in the parking lot, you save the tickets and on the way back you enter another one. There is not much waiting, but don't go with hats and creams, the sun is strong on the hill where the building is built. On the way back, the ride was interesting because the streets are steep, like going down a slide. Everything I have about driving in 2025 is in the photos.

Great ride. We got in early and there was no line. When we got back the line was already very long. There is 1 stop along the way with great panoramic view.

The Petit Train is a wonderful way to see the highlights of Marseille without tiring yourself out, especially if you’re short on time or less able to walk up the city’s steep streets. The tour typically starts down by the Old Port (Vieux Port) and winds its way up to the iconic Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean along the way. The ride is comfortable, with an audio guide available in multiple languages (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian), adding context to what you’re seeing. You'll learn about the rich history of Marseille, its transformation from a Greek settlement to a bustling port city, and stories about its most famous landmarks. While it’s a bit touristy — and the seats can be somewhat small — it’s a great way to orient yourself, rest your feet, and appreciate the city’s character. Some say the ride feels bouncy on the cobblestone streets, but that's all part of its vintage appeal. Overall, the Petit Train is a convenient, charming, and family-friendly activity — especially for first-time visitors or those with limited mobility — that lets you appreciate the best of Marseille in a short ride.

The best way to explore Marseille and really good value at €10/adult. It’s also the best way to get to Notre-Dame De La Garde and you can get of and explore here and catch another one back. They run every 10mins ish too. Go early to avoid the crowds and the heat. We went around 10am on 31st July and no queues or crowding and were back in the Old Port by midday having seen all we wanted to see.

We came off from the cruise ship and wanted to join the hop on hop off bus in Marseille. We were glad we did not pre-book the tickets in advance. The line to the bus was so long. At least 50 people. It looked like we would have to wait at least 1 hr to get on. With the time constraints, we were looking for another option. The taxi driver was very helpful in taking us into town to find the Petit Trains de Marseille. She said this would be a better option and it was less expensive and it would take us to all the tourist areas as well. We paid for the tickets 10 euros per person which was quite reasonable. Only one line of two available was working that day but it was the one we wanted to go on. The mini train ride was quite relaxing and very scenic. We were glad this other option to tour Marseille was available in addition to the Colorbus hop on hop off bus.

Is a convenient and charming way to see the city's main sights, especially the famous Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica. It's great for avoiding the steep walk and offers fantastic views. While it can feel a bit touristy, it's a worthwhile, fun ride that provides a good overview of the city.

One of the options to get to and from Notre-Dame de la Garde is to take the Petit Train 🚂 The train departs from the Old Port to Notre Dame de la Garde via the corniche on the seafront. (Circuit no 1) There’s nice view of the coastline and speakers playing guided tour in English and Spanish along the way. It’s fun, relaxing and hassle free. 😎

Easily one of the best sites to visit in Marseille and France as a whole. Interesting and valuable history, and fantastic grounds. The fountains are simply breathtaking. Palais Longchamp also has the Beaux-Arts Museum and The Museum of Natural History. So all-in-all a great place to spend the day.

It's one of the beautiful historical architecture place I have visited. Beautiful for day spending.also I have seen people coming here to read books, paint and spent time with family and friends. And it holds an importance of how a city used to get water from river and this was a canal back in 16th-17th century. Built by Duke of Orleans. Beautiful and scenic

Mesmerizing and above all charming palace built by the instructions of Napoleon III. Great place for Instagram photos because of the gorgeous building architecture with an artificial waterfall under the statue. Two lovely fountains that are set in the small artificial lake are making you see the rainbows under the proper light conditions which certainly adds to the charm of this place. On one side of double sided stairs is a Natural history museum and on the other Museum of the Beautiful Arts which are a good-to-go places if you're visiting Marseille. Behind the structure is a lovely park and a metro and a bus station, so the place has a great connection to the other parts of the city with public transportation systems. My recommendation is to visit it during the afternoon hourse, and catch "a golden sun hour" cause seeing it at this time is certainly a remarkable expirience.

A beautiful monument which houses two museums: the Beaux-Arts and the Natural History Museum. The latter was small (free) but packed full of information on life and the earth. Great for kids but not only... The park itself was a little scruffy and neglected, notices indicated that it was undergoing an extensive restoration plan.

I couldn't get into the museum due to lack of time, but I think it's one of the most beautiful places in this city!

One of the best locations in the city. A must visit. A very nice view of the city. The foundation is an amazing and outstanding architectural masterpiece. The park inside is very peaceful and enjoyable. You can find two museums, a cantina and a old zoo simulation.

Palais Longchamp in Marseille is an absolute gem and a must-visit. Its stunning, grand architecture is breathtaking, serving as a beautiful monument to the city's vital water supply from the Durance River. Public parking is available but you may need approx 10 minutes walk. For photo & Instagram lovers, you definitely get stunning shot here.

imposing and beautiful basilica in the old town, the largest Gothic building in Provence which houses the relics of Mary Magdalene ...

Beautiful basilique with lots of history. If you get a chance to go with a guide, I would recommend that! And don’t forget to check out the gift shop to participate in the renovation fundraising (they sell religious items but also local honey and other things, and you can pay by card). We were lucky to visit it with a friend who had done a guided tour on the journées du patrimoine and explained a lot of the history like how it was almost robbed at the revolution and that’s why a lot of the stained glass is gone but the organ player started playing the national anthem and pushed the invaders away. The story of Sainte Marie Madeleine is beautiful too, and so much more!

Another fantastically beautiful and Grand cathedral.

Wonderful place well preserved, which dates back to the beginning of Christianity The abside is really spectacular The 2000-years old crypt contains the remains of our Saint Sister Marie-Madelaine, which seems unbelievable One downside : large groups of people just stay packed inside the crypt for long periods of time, preventing other persons from accessing the tombs

Beautiful basilica with a crypt that holds the skull of Mary Magdalene, very much worth the visit if in the area!

A dream come true! I also visited her cave and her chapel in La Cadière-d’Azur 🇫🇷❤️

I had a great time visiting the Basilica. Recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Great local shops all around as well. 💖✨️

Very much worth the money. The guy didn't speak much English but I wasn't a problem as he was a good laugh and they had an sheet of instructions in English. The electric assistant made the uphill back light work too.

We had so much fun..I recommend 😍

An awesome experience to plan with famiy and friends. A very scenic route and a must do in your list of activities in Aix-Marseille region.

Great fun for a family day out. Excellent value. Bring lots of water with you during the summer. We found the afternoon the best time to do it as we were shaded along the route

Great activity for the whole family. You must reserve a ride before, since they are limited with number of trolleys. Price is 45 € for one trolly. It can take 5 persons, two seats are for pedaling. We enjoyed it very much. The first part is uphill and takes little effort, then you go to the tunnel, and after that it is downhill. There is no need to peddle. Return is on the same track, but you have motor assisted pedals for returning uphill. The scenic view nis awsame. Great memories.

Superb way to spend an afternoon with friends or family. Careful! Departs only at defined hours 3 times a day. Call ahead, as reservations are required. Great fun on the way down. The way back up is tough, in doubt, spend the 10€ extra on a battery for electrical assistance. Leave your weighty friends at home as you will have to carry them uphill otherwise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Velorail Sainte Baume is a fantastic spot for both adults and families! The experience is fun and enjoyable for all ages. The power assist feature is a great addition, making the trip incredibly easy, but you can choose not to use it if you're looking for a workout. Just a heads up, it can get a bit loud if you start going fast. One important note: it's the parents responsibility to look after their children. If you have kids that are a bit more "energetic" and don't like to sit still or perhaps fairly young children, you may want to think twice before taking them on this ride. There is potential risk of injury. They are very upfront about it and will make you sign a waiver. Overall, a wonderful outing that I highly recommend!

Better go early as it's small and can get very busy

Very nice small walk, caves and waterfalls

It is still closed in July 2023, and it doesn't look like it will reopen in the near future.

Stunning views, lovely waterfalls, great experience

While it is a beautiful place, there are too many visitors , too much foot traffic destroying the vegetation and by consequence destroying the river bank. there is dirty toilette paper in every secluded spot and the water gets polluted from kids urinating in the water

Closed off !!! 150euro fine if police catches you. 11/05/2024

Beautiful and quite accessible (on foot... Not much distance)

An extraordinary Cezanne exhibition covering his early to later works. Tickets only available via online portal and do expect a crowd- but it is a must if in Aix. The museum’s smaller permanent exhibition is also worth a (less crowded) visit.

The temporary exhibition about Cezanne was fabulous however the organisation of the museum leaves huuuuuge space for improvement. The tickets can not be bought in the museum even if the next available slot is in the next 30 minutes. You have to buy online or in tourist office which is 700 meters away. The most ridiculous solution I’ve ever encountered in any other museum. You’re advised to come 30 minutes before just to stand in the queue. Instead of letting people enter on small groups they just put a mass of people to enter small space of the exhibition all together to make the small rooms super crowded. No logic at all. And the worst out of it is the stroller unfriendly policy! Nowhere at the stage of buying tickets online you learn strollers are not allowed. You learn it when entering museum. Parent must carry the child all the time. As I was nowhere before made aware of it I didn’t bring any baby carrier. They finallly made exception for me after consulting their head of security 🤯 the museum has lifts inside but first you need to make two round of stairs in front to enter the building which is a tough barrier for people with strollers or with wheelchairs. This all happens in France and touristic town! Shame and the difficulties they made for people with reduced mobility and first of all not informing the customer on the stage of buying ticket just spoils the whole experience. The staff also is not very helpful as this is a bother to have reduced mobility person as a visitor. Only one woman on the lower floor was actually nice. The rest was behaving as this is such a nuisance. Total disappointment and I’ve been to hundreds of museums before. 2 stars as the exhibition was first class but organisationally it’s a HORRIBLE place.

The Cezanne exhibit is fantastic and well worth the price! They've brought together a fantastic collection and traced it though his life to show the evolution of style and use of light. The price includes the rest of the collection, and it was well organized to get in with timed entry, keeping it not too busy inside. If you're lucky enough - catch it before Oct 16 :).

Wonderful space and comprehensive Cezanne expo visited in October 2025. There was a significant queue for the expo, which is reassuring! There are plenty of us still looking for beauty and inspiration in art! Will be back!

The Cezanne show was a great idea. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to truly appreciate it. We had tickets for the 12:30pm time slot and while the museum staff tried their best, people with other time slots were able to get in ahead of us. The que was in a side street that was partially closed to public but somehow people were skipping the que and going in. Once in, the museum was mobbed and there were large guided groups that monopolized the most significant pieces making it practically impossible for individuals to get close. The guide giving a lecture in front of the piece and the group (some even set up folding chairs!), took over entire rooms so those of us behind couldn’t get close. I’m sure the show was great and the city deserves kudos for a great effort but the museum needs to reconsider whether they can host individuals at the same time as they invite groups. The other issue is not the museum’s fault but a rule about it might help: photography should not be allowed when the museum is this busy. People stand in front of a piece with their phone, one after another, taking pictures of artwork that has been photographed millions of times preventing those of us behind to appreciate the work. No one is ever going to take as good a picture as the one sold in the museum shop post card or found in a book. I’m happy I was able to visit this beautiful exhibit but, unfortunately, it was not a particularly enjoyable experience.

The museum houses permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, in our case Cezanne a Jas de Bouffan 2025. The temporary exhibition was nice, the permanent one was fine but didn't entice me that much.

We went to see the Sezanne exhibition. It was really nice but unfortunately totally overcrowded although they are already limiting access with time slots. It also would have been great to understand more about the father -son relationship - the explanations were too short/ shallow and seemed contradictory at times.

Cute place to visit. You can walk around the ground floor for free, and get to the garden. The exhibition is paid, and there is also a restaurant/cafe which you can visit and enjoy a drink/food in the small garden or inside. The interior is pretty interesting and there were a lot of artworks to be seen all around. We were especially amazed by the small labyrinth (parterre design) in the back garden. 🥰

A gorgeous oasis of peace, style and refinement in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. I loved the 30' film about Cezanne's life showed as part of the visit. The permanent collection is interesting and the layout of the building impressive. The two leveled garden is wonderful in all seasons...and the elegant café adds to the experience. An absolute pleasure and a treat. A reminder that.. La vie est belle...

Always a magical visit to this special space displaying the current art scene in the heart of Aix en Provence. Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition was incredible! The permanent sculpture and painting installations are incredible (on the first two floors) as is the Jardin and the gift shoppe that transports you to an era gone by ! Buy tickets in advance online.

Enjoyed the perfect early afternoon here. I began with lunch, toured the art exhibition, then topped off my visit relaxing in the rear garden. Perfection.

Very nice museum in a lovely old building in the middle of Aix. Currently an inspiring exhibition with works by French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle. While there be sure to visit the beautiful garden. The cafe is nice and fits well with aura of the museum.

Went to the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition which had outstanding organization, presentation, and descriptions in both French and much appreciated English. We also had a wonderful lunch at the café and enjoyed the Cezanne movie.

We were here to see the exibition of Niki de Saint Phalle. The hotel is very beautiful. Unfortunately we couldn't see the cafe because it was closed for a private visit but we saw it from the door; very colorful...

Wide scenic boulevard on the edge of the old town

There are so many small, amazing streets in Aix-en-Provence, that Cours Mirabeau pales in comparison with. Of course, if you are there, you need to see it, but we’ve spent hours walking on the streets around it.

one reason why i love visiting aix because the city is a very lovely walkable one ♥️ this street will be full of vendors in certain days including saturdays morning! And you can find literally everything from clothes to antiques! Must visit!

Here is ware you would like to be. Specially after noon. Nice atmosphere and full of attractions Lot of artist 🧑‍🎨 and what they making for sell. Restaurants. Architectural. And happy people’s

Pedestrian area. Don't bring tour vehicule.

Very nice street dedicated mainly to walkers, with lots of different choices of cafes and restaurants, also several shopping places and banks, very good for spending the day.

A shopping place for both high end and low end products. The main street is lined with tents selling affordable items

I met a very helpul and friendly advisor. She provided me with useful tools to plan my hiking trip in Aix, tours to mountain villages and extra fun fact about the region. It was an interesting conversation and she mades my days in Provence

I had the absolute pleasure of receiving tourist information from Robin during my visit to Aix-en-Provence, and I can't say enough good things! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to provide detailed recommendations tailored perfectly to my interests. From hidden gems to local favorites, Robin’s knowledge of the area was both impressive and genuinely helpful. His warm and welcoming attitude made me feel instantly at ease. Thank you so much Robin, for making my experience in Aix so memorable – you're a true gem and star! ⭐

We made the Visitor Center our first stop in town. I am so glad we did! What a fantastic Visitor Center! We stood in line about 5 minutes, before I was able to talk to one of the many associates they have working through information counter. We were lucky enough to get Jan as our Visitor Center associate. He was fantastic! He helped us get tickets to a museum exhibit we really wanted to see and tickets for a tour. He was able to provide much useful information. I can't thank him enough! Besides information and brochures, they also had a little gift store and art exhibit. The Visitor Center is a must stop on anyone visit to Aix en Provence

A lot of helpful advice en anglais and I enjoyed the tour of the Luberon that I booked through the bureau. Rarely a line, lots of maps and patience from the employees.

Excellent service, extremely helpful and going above and beyond. Very friendly and professional too. Lots of info, bus timetables, maps, exhibitions, recommendations and up to date info, could not have asked for more. Very grateful. I warmly recommend!

Robin was so incredibly helpful and generous with his time. He is such an asset to the tourism industry here in Aix En Provence.

The good stuffs in information desk,they have souvenir shop and they have water too.There is a few table that you can rest.Merci😊

I must be missing something for this to get an average of four on Google. A very sporadic display - no story or theme really linking them. Limited educational text. If it’s pouring with rain and you want 10 minutes out of the weather then maybe, otherwise a waste of 6 euro entry. Also like another reviewer mentioned we were followed around the museum as if we were a group of naughty school children in a corner shop. Weird.

By my understanding and standards, this place cannot be considered a museum. There are hardly any objects on display. I entered with the hope of finding an ethnographic museum, but it was a disappointment. Moreover, if you don’t know French language like us, you won’t be able to read anything or understand the visual presentations. Even if you consider the entrance fee as a donation, you’d be better off spending your time exploring the historic streets of this beautiful city.

Very limited collection focussing mainly on ecclesiastical themes… no English translations so only go if you are passionate about the history of Aix and can speak good French!

There wasn’t much to see, unfortunately. I was hoping to get a look at the mansion’s interior and some original furniture, but it turned out to be a small museum with just a few Cézanne paintings upstairs, and some rather creepy puppet dolls 😂

The city was founded in 123 B.C. but the museum touches on the period starting from the 17th century only. You'll see a few models and artifacts from that era but you won't learn much about the actual history of the city for the most part. The displayed paintings are mostly related to Cezanne's fellow artists/friends, half of the museum could be regarded as a small extension of Musée Granet which is dedicated to Cezanne himself and many more painters. There's a room with an interesting 3D model for a cupola project of St. Peter's Basilica (Vatican), the video is quite interesting telling the story of the project but the connection to Aix is that a collector bought the model in Italy and brought it to Aix. The museum has some artifacts but it's missing out most of the city's interesting history unfortunately. It can be a nice break for 20-25 min if you are in downtown, entrance is free on the first Sunday of the month!

Followed around the entire museum like we weren't trustworthy. Made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I left after about 7 minutes.

Nice small museum, however the ticket vendor quite blatantly tried to short change me, then pretended she hadn't noticed the 2€ in her hand. The actual museum attendant was helpful though.

Very old and full of character, a fascinating mix of architecture. This is a beautiful historic site with layers of history. You can see a blend of Roman, Gothic, and Baroque styles all in one place. The stone carvings, wooden choir stalls, and ancient baptistery are especially impressive. Even if you’re not religious, it’s worth a visit just to admire the architecture and peaceful atmosphere. A great spot for photos and a quiet moment in the city.

One of the most amazing cathedrals - and you wouldn’t recognize from the outside. Actually hard to find as it is easily overlooked in the dazzling inner town of Aix. The magnificent inside greets you first with a wonderful full-body baptistery on the right, with high columns. Then you walk on until you realize you are in a side wing - and turning to the left exposes a beautiful main ship, with an even more wonderful altar area. We didn’t see the associated cloister as this has a long lunch time break, so check the time tables if you want to visit this as well.

Absolutely outstanding church - architecture, artworks, organ, cloisters, and alter. One of the best I have ever seen.

Amazing visit! No tickets needed. You can visit the church free of charge (except during church services when it’s off limits for visitors). There are spaces dedicated to prayers only - off limits for visitors - which you are asked to respect. The beautiful archway and garden can be visited with a guide only. Make sure to put that on your schedule:) it’s free of charge but polite to leave a tip.

Beautiful cathedral! You can clearly experience how it has grown during the many centuries, from the simple baptism area, through the Roman period, to the Gothic part. The extra gallery of the monastery is also worth a visit, with many icons on the pillars.

Beautiful cathedral, with double pipes organ.

Worthwhile visit. Old and mysterious 12th century church.

We enjoyed the guided visit very much. The guide spoke excellent English and described many interesting vignettes about Cezanne's years in the studio and efforts to preserve it after his death. We look forward to returning to see the progress on restoring more of the studio.

A lovely place to visit, even though there is only one room to see. The most interesting part was listening to our guide, who is very knowledgeable (and speaks English perfectly)! I hope that eventually this space will be even more interesting, with more things to view and I'm grateful that they do their best to save the remembrances of a great painter.

The bright southern French sunlight and sweet air made this place feel magical. Watching a group painting outdoors added to the charm—it was a beautiful and inspiring moment.

Boring tour of women, who can hardly speak English. The content of the tour is irrelevant to the art of Cézanne. Just silly little anecdotes. Complete wastevofvtime. What a shame

The studio I visited itself is one room and oat of some gardens. It's not accessible and it's a ways from the city center. On the way back to our horn we had to wait over 1 hour for the bus (it was a Sunday) and no Ubers / Bolts were available that could fit a wallet on the trunk. So it just wasn't worth it for the mobility aspect given that we saw one room.

Excellent experience, made very enjoyable by the stories and anecdotes from the guide

We tried to book for the museum but that was sold out many weeks before we arrived so thought a tour of his studio would be great. Ticket €9.50 each, says to arrive 20 minutes before your time slot. No idea why especially as only 3 chairs to sit on in the gift shop/waiting area. The staff at the desk weren’t particularly friendly. Our guide introduced himself and off we went through the garden, stopped to warn us about the path (it was very wet and slippery), and we arrived at his house. We entered the first room on the ground floor, stood around and given a background into Cezanne’s life. Then up the stairs to the studio. Stools provided to sit and hear more about Cezanne’s life and approach and then items of interest in his studio. There is his easel, a palette and a few bits and pieces but that’s about it. It’s a very empty space really for a studio and doesn’t give you a feel for how he worked here or how the space was really used. It’s a room basically. And that’s the tour, which a quick read of a website could have provided. Our guide was nice enough. He has perfect English however has a very thick French accent and spoke very fast so made it difficult to understand him ( I work with people from across the globe so very comfortable with accented English but even I struggled). NB. parking nearby is a nightmare so in fact turning up early proved to be a good idea purely to find a place to park. Tip- buy tickets online ahead as it does sell out.

Adorable !

Great views on Luberon, awesome geological feature! If you are without a car, I would look for the bus line from Apt.

Great for a weekend trip. Worth visiting especially that it was free and the view was stunning. There is a climb up which some of the people might find scary (it’s like a stairs over the cliffs edge) but worth the walk!

So beautiful and charming, everywhere you turn! Like a fairytale. I stumbled upon this village after visiting the lavender fields and being intrigued about the village at the top of the cliff. Wandering around on a Saturday afternoon was one of the loveliest experiences I’ve ever had in France. I read up on the cathedral afterwards and it has been a stopping point for pilgrims since the Middle Ages, just incredible. If you are in the area, don’t miss it!

Absolutely stunning viewpoint and equally idyllic town below. Worth a detour if you are in the area. You can follow my travels on @revelintravel

Stumbled across it by total accident, en route to a friends in Saint Remy! Lovely on such a dramatic, cloudy day

A nice walk, if you are afraid of heights this can be challenging due to the walking path being next to a cliff..

Excellent view of the Luberon valley and interesting ruins. Worth the walk up.
