Why choose Marseille for your road trip

Marseille — a city worth exploring

Marseille's Vieux-Port has welcomed seafarers for over 2,600 years, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in France. Perched along the Mediterranean coast, this port city blends ancient history with a bold, creative energy that rewards curious travellers. Wander through Le Panier, the city's oldest quarter, where narrow lanes open onto colourful street art and artisan workshops. Visit the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde for sweeping views across the rooftops and out to the Frioul archipelago. The Mucem (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) sits right on the waterfront, connected to the historic Fort Saint-Jean by a slender footbridge. A short drive south leads to the Calanques National Park, where limestone cliffs plunge into turquoise water — a spectacular stretch for coastal walks. Aix-en-Provence is just 31 km north, ideal for a half-day detour, while Cassis and its famous cape, Cap Canaille, lie only 23 km to the east. The coastal roads around Marseille are winding but well-maintained, and many viewpoints have pull-offs suitable for larger vehicles. Exploring by campervan gives you the freedom to follow the coastline at your own pace, stopping wherever the view calls. With a motorhome hired through Yescapa, you connect directly with local owners who know the best routes and overnight spots. A campervan trip here means waking up to the sound of the sea and the scent of fresh bouillabaisse drifting from the harbour.

Best time to visit

Marseille enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year, so almost any month works for a road trip. May and June are ideal — warm enough for swimming in the Calanques, with campsites still easy to book. The Fête de la Musique in June fills the Vieux-Port with free concerts, while the Festival de Marseille runs from mid-June to mid-July with dance and theatre across the city. Autumn brings the Fiesta des Suds in October, a world-music festival near the docks. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa in the shoulder months often means better peer-to-peer rates from local owners. Book a few weeks ahead for summer to secure the best choice of vehicles in Marseille.

Ragazzi super affidabili, sono quel tipo di viaggiatore che senti all’inizio del viaggio e alla fine perché sono autonomi, svegli e intraprendenti. Hanno fatto un road trip stupendo alla scoperta delle spiagge più belle. Van restituito in ordine e pulito.

Our experience with Yescapa was extremely poor. The pickup location for the camper was incorrect, which caused us to lose both time and money, as we had to take an Uber to the actual location, which we essentially had to figure out ourselves. When we arrived at the Roadsurfer office, they initially refused to rent us the camper because they claimed that my driving licence had not been issued by a country accepted by the company. However, when I made the reservation through Yescapa, I provided all the required information and uploaded photos of my licence. This caused us further delays and additional expenses, as I had to pay for an international driving licence validation. Communication was also very poor. We were basically unable to get in touch with anyone to ask our questions or receive assistance regarding the issues we encountered.
