This tour will take you from the Old Port to Notre Dame de la Garde, via the corniche on the seafront, where you'll discover all the city has to offer, including Fort Saint Jean and Fort Saint Nicolas, the Palais du Pharo, St Victor's Abbey, the breathtaking view from the Pont de la Fausse Monnaie, Château Valmer and the famous Vallon des Auffes.
The backdrop will be the islands of Frioul and Château d'If. The train will then branch off to take you to the Vallon de l'Oriol, where you'll discover some magnificent "Marseille-style" residences clinging to the hillside.
You will then climb to an altitude of 162 metres, where the Good Mother watches over Marseille and its inhabitants.
The view from here is breathtaking, with a 360° panorama of the city.
After a much-needed break (there's a train every 30 minutes), the tour continues and you'll plunge into the city as you pass the famous Ferry-Boat on the Old Port.
