#underratedspots In the middle of the Côte Bleue, the Niolon cove is located between l'Estaque and Carry le Rouet. The small port has some houses and shops. Renowned for its underwater depths, Niolon is a delight for diving lovers. A diving center also occupies a former military fort. The view is also remarkable over the whole bay of Marseille and Friuli. A small path accessible from the port allows you to climb up the cliff to have a better view of the Niolon cove. This picturesque cove has a small peaceful beach. You can also discover the adjacent creeks, which are also worth a visit: the creeks of La Vesse, Les Jonquiers and L'Erevine. It's a perfect spot for swimming. While there is no large sandy beach, there is a small gravel beach in the port and flat rocks perfect for sunbathing and cooling off. For hiking enthusiasts, I recommend hiking between Ensuès-La-Redonne and Niolon. It will take you to the Niolon Fort, from where you will have a breathtaking view. 🚂 Getting there: take the TER train from Marseille Saint-Charles toward Miramas, which takes about 25 minutes and drops you just a 10-minute walk from the port. #travel2026 #myitinerary #summer #summervacation #france #marseille

#itinerarycheck Arles is a historic city in southern France, renowned for its remarkably preserved Roman ruins and deep connections to artist Vincent van Gogh. Located on the Rhône River in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, it serves as the gateway to the wild Camargue wetlands. If you love art or history then Arles is definitely a place worth visiting. The combination of Roman artefacts and the scenes of van Gogh's paintings are enough to draw you to this beautiful city and keep you in Arles for the whole day. Arles is small enough to get yourself around and all the sites are conveniently located. Must visit in Arles: 📍 Arles Amphitheatre A massive 1st-century Roman arena. It is highly preserved and once held over 20,000 spectators for gladiatorial games. 📍 Theatre Antique A Roman theatre built in 1 BC. While only two grand columns remain of its original stage wall, it still hosts beautiful open-air concerts and festivals during the summer. 📍 LUMA Arles A 16-acre creative campus centered around a dazzling, futuristic stainless-steel tower designed by Frank Gehry. You can visit the tower's panoramic terraces and outdoor slides for free, or purchase a ticket to see their cutting-edge contemporary art exhibitions. 📍 Foundation Vincent Van Gogh Arles A bright art space that explores the master painter's deep connection to the city. 📍 Place du Forum The lively, café-filled heart of the old town. Here, you will find the Café Van Gogh, which still features the bright yellow awning painted in Van Gogh's masterpiece, Café Terrace at Night. 📍 Place de la République A grand public square featuring a large Egyptian obelisk at its center. It is flanked by the beautiful Church of St. Trophime, which is famous for its intricate, world-class Romanesque stone-carved entrance. 📍 Espace Van Gogh The actual courtyard of the historic hospital where Van Gogh was admitted after cutting his ear. The garden has been precisely replanted to look exactly like his famous painting, The Hospital in Arles. #summervacation #travel2026 #thingstodo #museums #myitinerary #citydaytours #france

I suddenly recalled my trip to the South of France last summer. I was so busy traveling according to my plan up to Paris. However, in the South of France, the only fixed plan was to watch football, and I decided where to go almost spontaneously, so I could travel leisurely. I enjoyed wandering around without makeup, feeling like a local☺️. Especially, Marseille was memorable because, contrary to my worries, it wasn't scary at all, and everyone was living joyfully, embodying the typical laid-back vibe of the South of France. 1. Eating Southern French cuisine at Restaurant Le relais 50 in front of the Old Port of Marseille, the bisque was really delicious✨. 2. On the way to buy flat peaches because I wanted to eat them. The streets of Marseille were so beautiful that I was excited. 3. Taking the little train from Les Petits Trains de Marseille up to Notre-Dame. 4. Watching the Egypt vs Paraguay football match at the Marseille stadium wearing a French T-shirt. 5. The best place in Marseille was Vallon des Auffes🫶🏽. 6. Watching the sunset at the Old Port every day🌅. How wonderful it would be if I could go to the South of France again. For those planning a trip to the South of France in the summer, Marseille is a must🇫🇷.

#worthitomot #LesBaux #CarrieresDeLumieres #ValDEnfer Les Baux is tourist-heavy but the surroundings redeem it. I parked at the village lower lot (€3/hr April–Oct), walked up to the ruined castle (€12 entry, skipped it), and instead paid €17 for Carrières de Lumières— the immersive projection show inside a former limestone quarry, 2026 program was Klimt & Vienna. It's 45 minutes of 4-storey digital art on rock faces, cool inside even in July. Then I drove 2 km to Val d’Enfer (Hell’s Valley) — a free, signed 1.5 km loop through eroded limestone needles and sheep grazed clearings, with a Dante-inspired name (local legend says he passed through). No ticket, no water, bring 1 L. Mistake: I did Carrières at 2 pm in July — air-con inside was a relief but the queue was 20 min; 10 am or 6 pm better. Another mistake: walking Val d’Enfer after rain — the clay path glues to shoes. Worth it? €17 for the quarry show is fair if you like digital art; the Val d’Enfer walk is the real Provence for €0 and 45 minutes. Combo both: show cools you, path grounds you. Question: is a €17 projected-art quarry worth more than a free limestone sheep path, or are they two different trips masquerading as one stop?

#beach Talking about the more local sandy beaches in southern France, Plage du Jaï is located in Berre Pond, a region of the province of Boucher-Durón, 21 kilometers from the central city of Marseille, close to the Marseille airport, so sometimes people photograph planes. This long coastline, sea crystal clear blue because many people touch mussels, so but more shells, sand is not fine so need to wear special shoes. Because it is completely surrounded by the shore, it is also suitable for windsurfing or parachute. In addition, this beach is very popular with naturalists The beach is suitable for lonely travelers, leisure vacation lovers, or dog walking.

Morning begins in Aix-en-Provence, the beloved hometown of Paul Cézanne. Golden sunlight filters gently through rows of plane trees, casting dancing shadows across café terraces. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and buttery croissants drifts through the air, capturing the effortless elegance of a Provençal morning. It is easy to understand why this city inspired one of France's greatest painters—every street seems touched by light. A scenic 50-kilometre drive later, the journey arrives in Marseille, France's oldest port city. From the hilltop, the panoramic view stretches across the sparkling Mediterranean to the legendary Château d'If, the island fortress made famous by Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. Standing above the coastline, history, literature, and the sea come together in one unforgettable landscape. 📍 Location: Aix-en-Provence & Marseille, Provence, France ☀️ Highlight: From Cézanne's hometown to the legendary Château d'If ✨ Feature: Tree-lined boulevards, charming cafés, Provençal atmosphere, Mediterranean views, historic harbour, and literary landmarks 🍃 Atmosphere: Elegant, artistic, and full of southern French charm 📸 Best for: Cultural travel, café photography, coastal scenery, and literary enthusiasts 💡 Travel Tip: Start the day in Aix-en-Provence before driving to Marseille to experience both the quiet beauty of Provence and the vibrant energy of France's oldest port city. ✨ Signature feeling: Enjoying breakfast beneath sunlit plane trees before gazing across the Mediterranean towards the legendary island of The Count of Monte Cristo. From the brushstrokes of Cézanne to the pages of Dumas, this journey is where art, history, and the sea meet. ☀️🎨🌊

It's an island called Île Ste-Marguerite. You can get there in thirty minutes by boat from Cannes. This island is a small island in the French Riviera, in the Mediterranean Sea. This island is famous among the French for its beautiful natural scenery. Also, the island has the famous prison, Port Royal, where the 'Man in the Iron Mask' was imprisoned. Since it's a Mediterranean island, the water is really clear and it's not a popular tourist destination yet, so there are only French people. So it's more peaceful and has a local feel, which was nice. #EuropeanTravel

#underratedspots Martigues, also known as the "Venice of Provence," is famous for its network of canals that crisscross the town. These canals not only add to the town's charm but also serve as a reminder of its historical significance as a fishing and trading port. I was blown away by the stunning landscapes of the Côte Bleue, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and by the picturesque and colorful houses of the town center of Martigues. Here is my favourite things to do in Martigues: 1️⃣ Stroll through the historic center, which features charming, colorful fisherman's houses flanking the water. Don't miss the famous Miroir aux Oiseaux (Bird Mirror), a photogenic inlet in the L'Isle district that has inspired painters for over a century. 2️⃣ Enjoy the sunset over the open sea from Chapelle de Ste Croix. To the west, the view of the Côte Bleue stretches as far as the lighthouse in La Couronne, the promontory, and to the east the natural harbour of Marseille with its islands. 3️⃣ Visit Fort de Bouc – a listed historical monument since 1930 - accessible by sea only. The fortified lighthouse with pink limestone walls stands proudly at the mouth of the Canal de Caronte. 4️⃣ Take the Côte Bleue walking trail, this natural coastal walk passes from sheer cliffs, through small villages to rocky inlets. 5️⃣ Walk along the cliff on the Corniche de Baou Tailla overlooking the sea for a spectacular view of the sunlight playing with pink limestone crags on the Mediterranean blue backdrop. 6️⃣ Take time out to laze on a beautiful sandy beach or in a sheltered cove gazing at hues of blue under a cloudless sky. 🚂 Getting there: Direct trains about 30–40 minutes from Marseille Saint-Charles to Martigues or Croix-Sainte station. #myitinerary #travel2026 #beachlife #naturalwonders #seascapes #france

Did the most beautiful wonder on Marseille French

Arles was one of my favorite places on this trip to the South of France. It's a city that perfectly blends art with its ancient history: you can walk through the spaces where Van Gogh once lived and created, and experience the city walls, theaters, and streets left behind from the Roman era. Van Gogh lived in Arles for only about 14 months, yet this period saw his most prolific creative output, resulting in over 300 works—including approximately 200 oil paintings and over 100 drawings and watercolors—many of which were created here. Transportation🚗: Taking the train from Avignon Centre to Arles is very convenient. Walking routes and recommended attractions🗺️: 📍The Yellow House (La Maison Jaune) Although the original building was destroyed in World War II, being able to visit the original site was still a joy. 📍The Roman Colosseum (Arènes d’Arles) This ancient amphitheater witnessed Arles's Roman-era glory. 📍Arles Park (Jardin d’été) Located in the old town, this lush green park is the inspiration for Van Gogh's paintings. 📍L’Espace Van Gogh This is where Van Gogh lived after cutting off his ear; it's now a cultural and community center, and I saw university students taking classes there. 📍Starry Night on the Rhône River A stroll along the riverbank offers a view of this famous painting. In the afternoon, the river sparkles in the sunlight—truly beautiful! 😻 #NovemberDestinations2025 #SouthFranceTravel #Arles #ArlesTourism #ArlesDayTrip #VanGogh #SearchingForVanGogh #MustVisitSouthFrance

Wander through Arles in autumn, where Roman grandeur meets Provençal charm beneath crisp blue skies. The Arènes d’Arles stands proud, its ancient arches bathed in golden light, still echoing with the energy of modern performances. Cobbled lanes wind past shuttered stone façades, leading to sun-dappled squares where brasseries hum with local life. As leaves turn amber, stroll the Rhône’s tranquil banks or climb to panoramic viewpoints marked by orientation tables—gifts from the “Friends of Old Arles.” Discover art tucked into alleyways, from Van Gogh tributes to contemporary photo exhibits on weathered walls. This season, Arles slows to a poetic rhythm. Sip wine under green umbrellas, browse antique bookshops, and let the town’s layered beauty unfold. Whether you’re drawn by its Roman roots, medieval towers, or vibrant street scenes, Arles in autumn is a living canvas—quietly spectacular, endlessly inspiring. #falladventures

The AIX Aix Provence tour is truly artistic and romantic. Ancient architecture and snail alleys intertwine with a unique French flair, and you can find beautiful cafes on street corners anytime.

Walk down the cobblestone square and feel the romantic atmosphere of the literati of the past. Aix is ​​a city where people can slow down and savor life, perfect for settling the mood and regaining the joy of life.

A beautiful spot next to Avignon

🎨【Step into Van Gogh's Painted World|Saint-Rémy-de-Provence】 Destination: Saint-Rémy-de-Provence 🗺️Location: At the foot of the Alpilles Mountains in Provence, Southern France ✨Tags: Artistic Town|Van Gogh's Footsteps|Market Culture|Southern French Country Life 💡If Gordes is a static landscape painting, then Saint-Rémy is a breathing film. This seemingly low-key town was the core of master artist Van Gogh's spiritual world. He spent a year here recuperating, creating masterpieces like "Starry Night," "Irises," and "Wheat Field." Today, Saint-Rémy still retains that "unique gentleness of Southern France": cafés filled with locals, olive trees, shutters, slow living... This isn't a tourist hotspot but a paradise for experiencers. ✨Why Visit: ✔ Van Gogh Pilgrimage: Visit Saint-Paul de Mausole Monastery to see his artworks and original living quarters ✔ Markets + Galleries + Garden B&Bs—artistic vibes everywhere ✔ Scenic hiking trails at the Alpilles foothills with few crowds 🎡Recommended Activities: 1️⃣ Van Gogh's Asylum · Saint-Paul de Mausole Walk Van Gogh's path inside the monastery, visit his former ward and replica studio, and see the real iris garden from his paintings. 2️⃣ Hike the Alpilles · Trails + Ruins + Vast Wheat Fields Stroll along a 1-hour countryside path where summer sunlight bathes stone walls and olive trees, with occasional sheep or sunflower fields—like walking through a painting. 3️⃣ Wednesday Market · Must-Visit! Saint-Rémy's Wednesday market is "the most authentic in Provence," offering goat cheese, olive oil, soaps, lavender products, linen fabrics, and dried flower decor. 4️⃣ Explore the Town Center The compact town center can be circled in 10 minutes, hiding galleries, bookshops, and ice cream stores in its alleys. Skip the photos—immerse in local life first. 📸 Photo Tips: 📷 Iris fields outside Van Gogh's monastery 📷 Market stalls: linen tablecloths, French pottery 📷 Stone alleys + shutters + French balconies in town center 📷 Evening mountain walks—silhouettes glow in soft light 👗Outfit Ideas: Slow-town style: Loose white shirt, floral dress, beige straw bag Van Gogh theme: Blue top/yellow accents echoing "Starry Night" and wheat fields Hiking: Sport sandals + sun-protective maxi dress or linen pants—light and breathable 🚗Transport Tips: ~45-min drive from Avignon (easiest by car) Walkable town center—avoid driving in; ~10-min walk from parking Combine with trips to Gordes, monasteries, or Arles 🎒Packing List: ✅ Sunscreen + straw hat + water bottle (strong sun in outskirts) ✅ Foldable tote (perfect for market hauls) ✅ Sketchbook/journal (copying Van Gogh scenes is romantic) ✅ Camera/phone with zoom (for portraits and distant mountains) 💬Why We Love It: Walking Saint-Rémy's streets, hearing wheat fields rustle, seeing irises sway—it's as if Van Gogh still waits by his canvas.

The fresh spring air carries the scent of blossoms, making it the perfect place to relax and embrace the beauty of the season. #couplestrip #naturalwonders #travel

You came all the way here and only saw the Saint-Trophime Cathedral? 😱 The Cloître Saint-Trophime, which features two architectural styles (Romanesque and Gothic) in one building, is a place that you should visit, although it is not very large in scale. The view of the bell tower from the rooftop and the cloister from the lowered position makes you feel reverent. 🌳 Address : 20 Rue du Cloître, 13200 Arles, France 🌻 Admission : 6 euros for adults (Arles Pass available) - Discounts for students and teachers, free for those under 18 ⚘ Tip : Take a picture using the arches of the cloister. When there is backlight, taking a picture from the back is also a great way to take a picture. #European travel #France #Arles #Southern France #France travel #Saint-Tropime cloister #Photo spot

#food #myhiddengems My Little Warung in Marseille is a true gem that transports you straight to Asia with every bite. The food is packed with authentic flavors, from the rich curries to the fresh, fragrant noodles. The ambiance is cozy and vibrant, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a hidden spot in Southeast Asia, despite being in the heart of France. It’s a refreshing addition to Marseille's already amazing restaurant scene, blending the best of Asian street food with the charm of French dining. Definitely a must-visit!

Traditional Lebanese family style, fresh ingredients, generous portions. Most importantly, the food is really delicious, a variety of dishes I've never had before, and the boss helped to pack carefully. They also prepared special drinks, which felt strange, but delicious. The boss was super nice, I asked him what incense he ordered, it smelled good, so he gave us a box. There are also selfies of the boss on the wall, and he seems to be an extremely confident person. #France #Travel #FoodTour

#winhkflight #europetrip Les Petits Trains de Marseille offers a delightful journey through the charming streets and iconic landmarks of Marseille, France. My experience aboard one of these quaint trains was a memorable adventure filled with history, culture, and breathtaking views. As I boarded the train, I was greeted by the cheerful conductor who welcomed me aboard with a smile. The train's colorful exterior and whimsical design immediately caught my eye, setting the tone for a fun and enjoyable ride ahead. As the train set off, we embarked on a scenic tour of Marseille's most famous sights and attractions. We passed by historic landmarks such as the Old Port, where fishing boats bobbed in the sparkling waters, and the majestic Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, which loomed high above the city atop its hill. As we meandered through the narrow streets of the old town, I marveled at the charming architecture and bustling atmosphere. We passed by quaint cafes and bustling markets, where locals and tourists alike mingled and savored the sights and sounds of this vibrant city. One of the highlights of the tour was our ascent to the summit of Notre-Dame de la Garde, where we were treated to breathtaking panoramic views of Marseille and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea beyond. The vista was truly awe-inspiring, and I felt a sense of wonder wash over me as I took in the beauty of the city from above. As the tour came to an end, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to experience Marseille's beauty and charm aboard Les Petits Trains. It had been a journey filled with laughter, discovery, and moments of pure joy, and one that I would cherish for years to come.
