Circuit 1
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.
Circuit 2
Before taking you to the oldest districts of Marseille, this tour will introduce you to magnificent monuments such as the Hôtel de Cabre, the Hôtel Dieu, the church of St Laurent and the magnificent Cathédrale de la Major.
The train will then take you past the former Vieille Charité hospice, which has been completely renovated and now houses the famous Musée d'Art Africain, Océanien et Amérindien (Museum of African, Oceanic and Amerindian Art).
During this stopover, you can discover the picturesque Panier district, with its narrow streets, pedestrian areas and welcoming squares where life is good (Place de Lenche, Place des Moulins...).
You'll love browsing through the artists' boutiques (paintings, ceramics, pottery, etc.).
This discovery of the heart of Old Marseille is full of surprises and will delight the most curious.
The second possible drop-off point is in front of Les Docks.
