    The Consignes Sanitaires building, built in 1719 by the architect Mazin, was constructed to house the doctors and surgeons responsible for the sanitary control of sailors and ships entering the port of Marseille.

    The Cosquer cave, restored in the Villa Méditerranée building in Marseille, is finally revealing its secrets, buried for 30,000 years at a depth of 37 metres. The Cosquer adventure unfolds over three levels, with the prehistoric cave under the sea to be visited aboard exploration modules.

  • LA MAJOR CATHEDRAL • ARCHITECTURAL JEWEL OF MARSEILLE

    I liked the places visited. Buying the tickets was quite easy. What I didn’t like? I forgot my umbrella in the bus, but it was not reported to tickets office or the driver. But this talks about the customers, not the people at Colorbüs…

    I love hop on hop off bus tours! We usually go all the way around as an overview. Then we decide where we want to go back to learn more about that area. Definitely worth the cost. Usually like a 2 or 3 day pass but we were only in Marseille 1 1/2 days.

    I loved the tour. It was expertly narrated, very informative. I however found that it was not very accessible for getting off at a stop, if you were unfamiliar with the tour itself. Other than that we had a very good time and enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. I would recommend this to others.
