Car Hire in Marseille Vitrolles
Mini guide to Marseille Vitrolles
Marseille Vitrolles
Not really a tourist destination, Marseille Vitrolles is the site of the city’s airport. There are many hotels available for those with early or late flights while the city is only 14 miles from Marseille, making it very easy to drive into Marseille and be wowed away by the well-rated attractions there.
With a unique character of its own, Marseilles is the second largest city in France. The old town is enchanting, with many districts equipped with a church, a playground and a line of ubiquitous plane trees. Walking around the old town, you might come across secret gardens and lovely courtyards hidden behind ancient churches.
The adventurous lot shouldn’t miss a journey up the hill, which stands at about 160 metres above sea level, to admire Notre Dame de la Garde, the stunning 19th basilica of the patron saint of sailors. Once up here, take advantage of the height to observe panoramic views of the ocean and the inlets that plunge into the water.
Other wondrous sights which can be visited by hire car include the magnificent cliffs of Estaque or the Chateau d’If, home to the legendary hero - the Count of Monte Cristo. From the castle, wonderful views of the ancient maritime city make the climbing worthwhile.
Marseille also offers a number of activities including water sports and hiking. After a hard day of playing in Marseille, you can head back to Vitrolles for a peaceful retreat.
