WOW! Everyone told us that this was one of the best (and largest) markets in Provence so we drove from CdP to check it out. My husband and I were blown away. The market seemed to go on forever because every time you turned down a street, there was another vendor period this market truly does have everything from produce, to meat, cheese, fruit, olives, pastries, art, jewelry, clothing, shoes, woven bags, whole roasted chickens, nuts, coffee, and no doubt some items we missed. We wandered around for almost 3 hours and filled 3 good-sized tote bags! We are from the United States and have never seen anything like it. All the vendors were friendly, not pushy. No yelling at you to come by. It's incredible that this market has been held every Saturday since the 12th century! Highly recommend. It's worth an hour+ drive.

I was impressed by the varieties , freshness and low prices of fruits. They have many other items here- cheese , clothes, bread, jam , honey and many more. The market occupied many streets . You will find something to buy here. Do scheduled your visit to Apt on Saturday. Market ends 12.30 pm. After this market there was nothing much to do on a Saturday in Apt. Fortunately our visit coincide with the French Music Festival.

It was said to be one of the most popular markets in the area. Not only did it have a whole host of locally sourced fresh produce and other food items, there were many DIY-jewelry and ornament stalls. Provence-style kitchenwares and household items were also highlights too. Get there early as most of the stalls started to close down slightly after midday!

Such a vibrant and authentic experience. Amazing fresh produce. Reasonable prices. Love it!

We enjoyed having our lunch here. Friendly staff, affordable and nice selection on the menu.

The market here on Saturdays is such a quintessential Provence experience- the smells of the pungent cheese, fresh lavender, and bright red tomatoes that beg to be devoured are all part of the joys of wandering around this gorgeous market

The historical old city is completely occupied by market stands. Hundreds of them covered with local products, accomplished by musik and options for having a snack or a drink. It's a "must see", a charming experience.

Like most buildings dating back to the 12-14th century in the area, the cathedral is a poor condition. The main body and the art work is undergoing a much needed restoration. In the meantime, religious offices take place in the side chapel, which can get crowded on important days of the Christian calendar.

Lively cathedral with formidable architecture and impressive paintings. It sits at the center of Apt and is worth visiting when in the region.

Amazing under appreciated treasure. Needs to be part of an official tour or call ahead for special viewing of the crypts due to past history of vandalism.

(Translated by Google) The Basilica of Ste-Anne, also known as the Cathedral of Sainte-Anne d'Apt, is a Roman Catholic church in the old town of the French city of Apt. The oldest part of the cathedral dates back to Roman antiquity.

(Translated by Google) Superb building dominated by the statue of Saint Anne who watches over the city, you can visit the cathedral during opening hours and the script with the relics of Saint Anne by appointment on a guided tour. The interior is magnificently decorated and at Christmas time a superb nativity scene is created every year, a must-see! (Original) Superbe édifice dominée par la statue de Sainte Anne qui veille sur la ville, on peut visiter la cathédrale aux heures d'ouverture et la cripte avec les reliques de Ste Anne sur rdv en visite guidée. L'intérieur est magnifiquement décoré et en période de Noël une superbe crèche est réalisée chaque année, à voir absolument !

Very neve visit for this cathedral and its chapel.

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.

Very beautiful winery, they let us walk all around the grounds and have a small museum. The wine is divine.So good! A great wine tasting experience.

I attended the Jazz Concert of Michel Pelegrino as part of Les Musicales dans les Vignes and the band was fantastic. However, the new owners of Chateau Virant need to improve the organization for this event. We were invited to grab food at the food trucks but the tables were installed under the scorching sun and noone sat in the designated area although there were other shaded places that would have been perfect. In addition, the cellar closed at 7:45pm and no purchases of wines were possible after that time…too bad for a winery where guests were eager to buy the local wine, the Olive Oil and the other products! I shared my comments with one member of the winery who denied that the tables were under the sun and with the President of Les Musicales so hopefully they will improve the welcoming of guests and make this event more enjoyable…and profitable for them!

What a find, an amazing place owned by a lovely family. You get to taste all their wines and also a free tour. Excellent wine at a very affordable price. The olive oil had many awards as well as the wine. You must not miss out on this place. Thanks a million to person that looked after us.

Good wine and olive oil. Very friendly staff and excellent museum.

Live concert nights are really fun. Definitely worth checking out!

We had such a lovely experience at Chateau Virant. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady who was very knowledgeable about the wines and the history of the Chateau. The tasting was beyond generous and the wines are terrific and well priced. Highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful place, great self guided tour. Very nice wine and at a great price too. Staff are amazing and helpful.

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.

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.

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.

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😊

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

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...

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.

If you are visiting Marseille, take some time to visit this historical site. Easy 20 ferry ride from the port and then we spent about an hour walking through the old prison dungeons and enjoying the outdoors with great views. There is even a cafe to grab a drink before you head back to main land.

We finally made it to our most awaited visit! Although, we must admit, we weren’t thrilled about the bright sunshine. But hey, there’s a restaurant right there if you’re in the mood for a quick beer. Overall, the place is pretty good, and the route is amazing. It’s just 20 minutes from the Marseille Vieux Port, making it a great spot to visit during the summer. The view from the fort terrace is simply breathtaking. You can see the big Frioul Island on one side and the city of Marseille on the other. It’s always a treat to watch the big cruise ships and small boats passing by. The fort is well-maintained and preserved, and there’s not much to see inside, but it’s definitely worth a visit at least once.

Okay, so the Château d'If is this really famous old castle right off the coast of Marseille. The main thing you gotta know is that it's famous because of the book, The Count of Monte Cristo, which used it as the ultimate prison. King Francis I built it way back in the 16 th century to protect the coast, but it ended up being this crazy, inescapable state prison—basically France's version of Alcatraz. You take a quick boat ride from the Old Port to get there, and the minute you see it on the island, it looks super isolated. The view of Marseille from the top is awesome, but the best part is walking around the cells. They even have the fictional one for Edmond Dantès, which is cool. You learn that if you were rich, you got a nice cell (called a "pistole" cell) with a window and fireplace. But if you were poor, you were stuck in a dark, gross dungeon. It's a total must-see if you love that book or just want to explore a spooky piece of history.

Takes about 30-40 mins in the ferry, lovely ride and costed us 11 Euros for the Ferry and 7 euros for the entry to the castle. The place is very scenic surrounded by water and one can see different islands around as well. The castle has the stories and posters that you can read about it's history.

Absolutely beautiful,a highlight of Marseille. It has a beautiful view of Marseille. Although there's not that much in the castle and it can be a bit pricey, I would suggest it as a must do.

Gorgeous views, a must of you're in Marseille. You take a boat from the Old Port and it takes you to the island. We spent there around 2 hours and grabbed a boat back to the Old Port. The boat ticket to the island was 18eur

Pretty bummed that they close down at the slightest hint of bad weather. Smooth seas, calm winds, and cloud cover? Closed. Boo. This was the only reason we got off the ship. Not much else to see in the area except the Notre Dame, which is worth maybe a ln hour or two including the tiny train tour that takes you to the top.

The building itself, it's architecture, the views of Marseille all around is very beautiful and impressive. That was actually the highlight of our visit. We saw three exhibitions. "The Mediterranean", which was the most interesting,"read the sky" was nice. and "the popular" was a bit too eclectic and average.

This multi floor museum presents items and histories of Mediterranean cultures. Beyond Europe it particularly emphasizes Egypt and Tunisia. These respectively seem to be the most acceptable antique culture to Europeans and the place where France had the most headline making colonial history in the decades before the museum's construction. The displays smack of guilt. The supplemental exhibits focusing on similarities among cultures, in astrology or pottery for example, present insightful comparisons and fascinating example objects. The museum will probably never run out of topics for comparative exhibits (cooking, gardening, print making, etc), so living nearby and being able to see them all is enviable. The museum's ground and top floors both feature cafes, and there is an entertaining gift shop at bottom. The adjoining fort has been redeveloped into gardens and art displays. A walk along the ramparts provides wonderful views of the city and harbor.

The MuCEM in Marseille is a must-visit! The Don Quixote exhibition is full of imagination, but the most fascinating part for me was exploring the ancient astrology and fortune telling documents, a real treat if you love history and cosmic curiosities. Besides the rooftop café is perfect for reading a book, enjoying the sunshine, and sipping coffee with sea views. Highly recommend taking time to explore every floor… building itself is beautifully designed!

This is definitely a must-do if you have time in Marseille, very interesting and well-thought out displays that were fun to go through, there were also explanations in English which helped. Going across the Sky Bridge and exploring the exhibitions and fort area was another bonus. Allow 2-3 hours at least!

Been here twice. Once in Jun 2019, another recently on 15 Oct 2025. The amount of signages to help guide you TO the Mucem entrance for typical visitors is zero. You spend 20min walking via the piazza at ground level to the museum entrance facing the sea, bam, the entrance sign says priority entrance for kids only. You gotta walk backwards to the cliff/rock to the entrance at the Vieux Port (series of staircases) to cross the giant metal bridges. Only then can you enter. Or so we were told on that Wednesday on 15 Oct 2025. There is also no way of telling if an exhibit is free to enter unless you beat the queue to ask a simple question.

Architecturaly marvelous museum when you're looking the outside of the building, but a bit confusing interior with couple of permanent exhibitions. We had a pleasure to visit 4 of the exhibitions that were presented inside but to be honest long waiting in line to get inside and a bit confusing space kind of affected the overall expirience. Staff is pleasant, but not uniformed so it can be a bit confusing for visitors in case they want to ask something. You get some sprt of stamp on your clothes, even dough you bought the ticket and went threw the checks. It seems like there is a lot less people leaving the exhibitions then entering the space where they are curated. The Mediterranean civilizations is one of the permanent exhibitions, so you will have a chance to see even ancient Greek colonnades inside, as well as couple of well kept sculptures. There is a super sweet restaurant on top floor amd a bridge that is connecting Mucem museum and the fortress Saint Jain. It's one of the city's well known locations so you won't regret if you decide to visit it, but my overall expirience mostly because of a bit chaotic crowd inside is for a 3-star rating.

Great place to visit! Nice walk to go there. Sea at this place. Lifts. Stairs. Nice staff. One ticket for 4 exhibitions. I only visited Mediterranees. Well organized,and interesting. A bookshop is inside where you can find lots of books like in another bookshop as well as the books on the exhibitions. .

Charming harbor in the downtown This place deserves a visit. Quite close to the old port (shorter than 30’ walking), you’ll find a charming harbor seemingly entering deep in the downtown. You can walk along the wharfs enjoy a glass or a nice dinner. If you go on 150 meters on the right side you’ll reach the seafront with a nice view on the bay, especially at sunset. Do not try to get very close by car, it’s almost impossible to park.

Visiting Vallons des Aufons, the charming fishing village in Marseille, was an absolutely fantastic experience. Nestled along the picturesque coast, this little place radiates an authentic and welcoming atmosphere that left a lasting impression. Strolling through its quaint streets, I was captivated by the genuine warmth of the locals and their rich fishing traditions, the aroma of grilled fish wafted from seaside restaurants, tempting my taste buds.

A small and traditional fishing village, born just below a viaduct, in the 19th century. It is located along the Kennedy Corniche, the splendid promenade named after the American president, which rises just outside the Old Port and the center of Marseille. it is possible to admire the small pastel-colored fishermen's houses, the lined up boats, all colored and the water with a thousand shades as a frame. A truly fascinating and evocative place. Undoubtedly among the most picturesque in the city. if you want to take a postcard photo you have to pop into this little gem. you can reach it on foot or by city bus.

Beautiful hidden port with scenic views. Great place to eat at a restaurant or simply stroll around. The area includes the beautiful 3 arched Pont des Auffes, a bridge built in the 19th century, and the Porte d'orient, a monument commemorating an army that fought alongside the allied power in the first world war.

Beautiful area, wish I’d found it before my last day in the city. Nice place to sit by the water, immerse yourselves amongst the locals or grab a meal at one of the nearby restaurants

Nice spot to visit. We biked there with lime and it was easy to park there the bikes and walk around the area and take some pics.

Scenic fishing village with less crowd that's accessible by bus. Crystal clear water.

This place is perfect for your evening walk You can enjoy Sunset here and click beautiful photos. Also in vicinity you can find good and decent food outlets. Overall beautiful place

What a beautiful cathedral! In a very nice area for sunsets, with a beautiful view over the sea with multiple restaurants close by. The cathedral is just stunning by it self with multiple small areas inside to pray and rest.

Your guide highlights: • The main nave (142 m long) — one of France’s largest. • The marble mosaic floor, multi-coloured stone pillars, and domed ceiling mosaics. • The main altar and choir, designed with imported marble from Italy and Tunisia. • The side chapels, each reflecting a different Mediterranean influence. • The crypt, where remains of the earlier cathedral and bishops of Marseille rest (if open). • Pause for reflection or quiet photography (no flash). ⸻ 🌅 Esplanade & Viewpoint Walk Duration: 10 minutes • Exit via the esplanade terrace overlooking the sea. • The guide points out: • The Old Port entrance (Vieux-Port). • Fort Saint-Jean and Notre-Dame de la Garde on the hill across the bay. • The evolving waterfront district of La Joliette and the modern “Les Docks.” • This is your panoramic photo moment — best at sunset or late afternoon. ⸻ ☕ End Point: Café or View Stop (optional) Duration: 5 minutes • End the tour at a nearby café on Boulevard Jacques Saadé or Les Terrasses du Port. • Your guide can suggest where to sit for the best harbour view or where to continue exploring on your own (Le Panier district or Fort Saint-Jean walkway). ⸻ 🎧 Notes for Organizing • Duration: 1 hour (efficient walking loop) • Total walking distance: ~1.2 km (flat terrain) • Languages: Most guides available in English, French, Spanish, or Italian. • Ideal time: 10 am (soft morning light) or 5–6 pm (sunset glow). • Meeting point: MuCEM main entrance or Esplanade J4. • Approx. cost: €10–15 per person for a small group tour (private guides €50–80/hour).

Cathédrale La Major is one of Marseille’s most striking landmarks — a grand 19th-century basilica that towers above the sea near the Old Port. Built in a bold Byzantine-Roman style with striped marble and elegant domes, it stands out beautifully against the Mediterranean backdrop. The interior is equally impressive, adorned with mosaics, marble columns, and vaulted ceilings that create a serene, majestic atmosphere. Its terrace also offers sweeping views over the harbor and Le Panier district. Both spiritual and architectural, La Major is a must-see gem that captures Marseille’s blend of faith, history, and grandeur.

The cathedral is located in a beautiful place. The view of the landscape around her is as spectacular as herself. From the outside it is grandiose, inside every fresco and statue will hold your attention, no matter what religion you are. A must visit and take some time to look around. We parked ten minutes' walk from it, but the city is well connected by metro lines. It is spacious and demanding to get around. Find out which type of tour suits you best.

We had a time frame to get back to our cruise, but Cathédrale La Major is at the Port, so this was first building we've visited. It's beautiful. On our Way back we've realised, that some elderly locals played Pétanque next to the Cathedral.

Amazing architecture, stunning mosaics, beautiful sculptures, camouflaged speakers pipe in choral music, sun streams color through elaborate stained glass, people wander in awe and silent reverence. What’s not to like?

This is the oldest district in Marseille and embodies the city’s rich history and identity. Once a working-class neighborhood, it has been revitalized through urban regeneration and now thrives as a vibrant center for leisure, creativity, and tourism. The name Le Panier (The Basket) originates from an inn with a sign depicting a basket that existed in the area during the 17th century. Over time, the name came to refer to the entire neighborhood. Characterized by narrow, winding alleys, steep streets, and aged buildings, Le Panier feels like a living maze. Today, it's akin to an open-air gallery, filled with street art, colorful murals, floral decorations, artisan shops, and charming cafés.

Le Panier is Marseille’s oldest and most picturesque neighborhood — a maze of narrow streets, colorful facades, and artistic charm. Once a working-class district, it’s now a creative hub filled with boutiques, art studios, and cozy cafés tucked between pastel-painted buildings. Street art decorates nearly every corner, adding a vibrant contrast to its ancient architecture. Highlights include La Vieille Charité, a stunning 17th-century monument, and the panoramic views over the port. Wandering through Le Panier feels like stepping into a lively open-air gallery — authentic, bohemian, and full of southern French spirit

Loved this place, tucked away in a quiet area near the port of Marseilles, France. Each street, and building is steeped in history and we were just amazed to hear all the stories that our guide narrated to us with so much enthusiasm and passion. Wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful port city.

Imagine the oldest part of Marseille on a hill where fishmen live, and now a wonderful place to stroll on coble stone roads with cafes, restaurants, shops and charming doors and paintings. You should not miss this place in Marseille!!!

Fascinating streets, nice bars for a drink or something special to eat, everything happens on the street, many shops with special decorations, the paintings on the streets are very beautiful. When you are there, you feel unique

This fun neighborhood is decorated by hundreds of colorful graffiti murals, numerous small shops and restaurants that seem to pop in and out of existence over the week, and narrow hilly streets. It all gives you a sense of exploration, discovery, and excitement. The neighborhood is an excellent place to visit and served for us a cozy, grounded place to stay while seeing the city. By far our favorite neighborhood in Marseille.

Really nice old area in the old quarter of Marseille. It's really nice to visit but I wouldn't live here even if you paid me. Rats running around on the street at night, balcanic music coming from the houses, and even saw a burned down car here LOL. Definitely an interesting place!

Very caring staff I will come back with pleasure if the opportunity arises except in summer in case of strong heat (Original) Très bon séjour dans un agréable appartement bien entretenu .

(Translated by Google) Ideal location for very clean and pleasant apartments. Very friendly welcome. Excellent value for money. The ideal is to have the rooms overlooking the courtyard. The street itself doesn't have too many noisy businesses but on Saturdays people can walk around and make a little noise. (Original) Emplacement idéal pour des appartements très propres et agréables.

(Translated by Google) We'll come back! Great location, friendly staff (Original) On reviendra ! Emplacement top personnel sympa

An absolute must-see in Marseille! The panoramic view from the top is breathtaking—offering a stunning 360° look over the city, sea, and surrounding hills. The basilica itself is beautiful, rich in history and architectural detail. Reaching the top can be a bit of a climb, but it’s well worth the effort. Whether you're religious or not, the atmosphere is peaceful and inspiring. Ideal for reflection, photography, or simply enjoying the view. A highlight of any trip to Marseille.

Notre-Dame de la Garde is definitely a must-see in Marseille. The cathedral itself is stunning, and the panoramic views over the city are breathtaking, especially at sunset – it’s truly magical. The only downside was that I couldn’t pay in cash to enter the museum, which was a bit inconvenient. Otherwise, it was an amazing experience.

Quite a walk from the train station; the uphill climb is a duzy; my hubby is 70 and I'm 64. We made it , but it's a workout. The outside is being restored, so there were several places we couldn't go. Great views.

Stunning basilica at the top of the hill overlooking Marseille. The church itself has a beautiful design with lots of mosaics and stripes columns inside. That is already enough on its own but the views from the outside are simply awe-inspiring. 360 degree views around. Don't miss this if in Marseille.

The Castle on the top of the hill is famous in its own right. Definitely must see when visiting Mercedes. Amazing history. It is a tough walk. If you’re gonna come all the way up the mountain to see this monument as opposed to having a car drive up or one of the electric scooters or vehicles otherwise. Would definitely recommend paying a visit as the expansive 360° views of the city and Port are amazing.

Is a must-see for its incredible architecture and the breathtaking 360-degree views of Marseille. The small museum is interesting but quite brief, and most of the texts are in French. So, while the museum might be a quick stop, the basilica and the stunning panorama are truly unforgettable.

Fantastic place to look out over the city. The church itself is also pretty, if you’re into that. It was a steep climb for us, up many steps, but worth it for the view! Very popular with tourists

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!

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!

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. 💖✨️

Magnificent view and easy access. I went early before the sunrise and I got a free parking till 9am and I enjoyed the Calanque all by myself😍

Worth the hike for 30 minutes, wonderful day

Just beautiful. You need to be there very early to park…there is a car park but we saw people double parking which would make it hard to get out. Better to get one of the end spaces on the road. These are still paid we believe, we paid anyway! Charges are expensive but worth it for the beach and view. Water shoes are a must. Beautiful bay for swimming. Steep walk back up.

This is my favorite place to go. I used to go there when I was little. It's far from the other beach but man the water is clear, not too crowded and when it's hot that's the place. You'll also find a small restaurant there to catch a drink or more.

Medium sized calanque made out of interesting brown mud and stone. This, along with the prominant Rocher du Capucin hill that looks like a hawk/ dog head, makes for perfect photo ops. beach is busy in the day but fairly quiet in the evening when the sun disappears out of it, with rocks of differing heights to jump off of. Only downside is the pebbly beach gets a sheen of brown on your beach towel! Parking on street is ok, 1 hour for free and free after 8pm.

The worst beach I have been to. No beach just stones and mud. Not much room on the stones. Will never come back. Weather was nice

Nice private beach Limited parking access

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.

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

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)

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!!

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

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

Very good adventure park with variety of challenges for all ages. A small park for the little ones (up to 4 years) and then several parcours courses with different levels of difficulty. If you are in the region with kids and teenagers then a visit to this park is a must.

Gréât place to spend the afternoon as a change from the beach but don’t get there after 3pm as the courses close at 18.15 and they conveniently forget to tell you until after you’ve paid. Good place but manager lacks honesty.

Super moment

Had a great day at La Castille, lots to do with stunning views of the vines and winery

Big up a David

Nice place to run, but be careful, not a lot of this place is under the shadows.

Super
