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.

Top getaways from Marseille

Marseille is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways

Marseille to Aix-en-Provence

30km north 1–3 days

Just 30 km north of Marseille, Aix-en-Provence charms with its tree-lined Cours Mirabeau and the Atelier Cézanne. Stop at the Roquefavour Aqueduct along the way. Campervan-friendly parking is available on the outskirts of Aix with regular bus links to the centre. A perfect short break from the coast.

Marseille to Cassis and La Ciotat

65km southeast 2–4 days

This 65 km coastal route south-east of Marseille threads through the Calanques National Park to Cassis and on to La Ciotat. Take a boat trip from Cassis harbour to see the calanques from the water, then visit the Éden Théâtre in La Ciotat, the world's oldest cinema. Motorhome pitches are available near Cassis harbour.

Marseille to Montpellier

120km west 3–6 days

Montpellier lies 120 km west of Marseille, its lively old town centred on the Place de la Comédie and the Jardin des Plantes, one of France's oldest botanical gardens. Break the journey in Aigues-Mortes, a walled medieval town in the Camargue. The flat roads through the Camargue wetlands are easy to navigate in a campervan and offer plenty of roadside stops.

Marseille to Gordes and the Luberon

190km northwest 4–6 days

Head 190 km north-west of Marseille into the Luberon, where honey-stone villages dot the hillsides. Gordes sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the valley, and the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is framed by lavender fields. Visit Roussillon for its ochre cliffs and the weekly market in Apt. Many campsites in the area offer spacious motorhome pitches with full hook-ups.

Marseille to Grenoble and the Alps

280km northeast 5–8 days

Travel 280 km north-east from Marseille to reach Grenoble at the foot of the French Alps. Along the way, cross the lavender fields of the Plateau de Valensole and the Gorges du Verdon, Europe's largest canyon. In Grenoble, ride the Bastille cable car up to the hilltop fort. Mountain roads are well maintained, though allow extra time for the passes. Campsites along the route offer pitches with mountain views.

Marseille to Barcelona

310km west 5–8 days

Barcelona lies 310 km west of Marseille across the Spanish border. Follow the coast through Narbonne, where you can visit the Romanesque Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur, and Perpignan with its Palais des Rois de Majorque. In Barcelona, explore the Sagrada Família and Park Güell. The A9 motorway is tolled but offers service areas with campervan parking. A memorable cross-border road trip connecting two Mediterranean cities.

It was excellent. We rented the van for a short trip to Chamonix. Easy to drive, well thought out interior made it a great choice for a few days wild camping whilst enjoying the mountains.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this rental for our road trip across Mallorca! The communication from the start was fantastic; the owner is incredibly friendly, highly accommodating, and was always available if we needed any help. The camper itself is amazing—beautiful, reliable, and in pristine condition. It came equipped with absolutely everything we needed for the journey, including thoughtful extras like outdoor furniture and a cooler that was perfect for our beach days. The owner also provided a very clear and thorough explanation of how everything in the vehicle worked before we set off. Overall, we are super satisfied with the entire experience. Totally recommended to anyone looking for a perfect camper getaway!

We couldn't have asked for a better camper van for our trip around Portugal! It's compact, easy to drive, and surprisingly practical, with everything you need for an unforgettable adventure. The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always available if you need anything, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. My partner and I had the most amazing holiday exploring Portugal's stunning beaches, cliffs, charming towns, and hidden spots. The van never let us down, and we didn't have a single problem throughout the trip. We would 100% rent it again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect way to explore Portugal. Thank you for helping make our trip so special!

5 / 5

Great (first) experience, the owners were very helpful, they communicated well and answered all our questions quickly. The van is super convenient with a lot of space, you can stand up inside, take the bed off when you are not sleeping... The equipment installed is also very practical (fridge that can contain more than you'd think, portable toilets, shower, stoves...) ! You just have to be careful when parking/driving because it's pretty big, but we would absolutely love to rent it again if we were to come back in the region.
