Car Hire Marseille

As the oldest and second largest city in France, Marseille has a rich history. Situated in the far southeast of France, Marseille is a gorgeous city with a bustling port. While in Marseille be sure to visit the infamous, ancient prison Chateau d'If, most well-known for its role in The Count of Monte Cristo. This ominous prison was originally built in 1524 as a fortress and remains on the island of If, the smallest island in the Frioul archipelago, bearing an incredible physical presence just off the coast of the city. The charming neighbourhood of Le Panier located in Le Vieux Port (meaning old port) is a must see as well as the Palais de Longchamp and Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde.

Thanks to Marseille's location many other popular French regions and cities are within a comfortable driving distance. Visit the quaint fishing village of Cassis or continue further towards the elegant cities of Cannes, Nice and the principality of Monaco. Located to the west of Marseille, Montpellier is a popular university town and is one of France’s most multicultural cities.
