Marseille<\/a> has two main parks with beautiful assets. The Parc Bor\u00e9ly and its castle, near the racecourse. During our walks, the children love to ride the electric car, feed the ducks and geese. A sublime rose garden is also a must. On the nature side, the Campagne Pastr\u00e9 is more authentic and offers a space of more than one hundred hectares. The sportsmen can train while the families meet there for big birthday parties around the beautiful Bastide from the XIXth century. Finally, some can also take riding lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Joliette is an evolving district thanks to the construction of the Terrasses du Port shopping center or the MuCEM museum (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) with its art and history exhibitions, or for its surprising views over the city. La Joliette is also the departure point for various ferries going to Corsica or Morocco for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get away from it all, take the shuttle bus for about 15 euros each way to the Old Port of Marseille which will take you to the Frioul Islands. Many rentals are possible including Airbnb<\/a>. You will enjoy the wild creeks, the magnificent sunsets and views of Marseille or visit the Ch\u00e2teau d’If<\/a>, which inspired Alexandre Dumas for his novel The Count of Monte Cristo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet the artists, you can choose between the Friche La Belle de Mai<\/a> or the Cours Julien. Shows, concerts, restaurants, animations, street art or exhibitions are regularly held there, making it friendly and animated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, organize a day in the Calanques<\/strong>. Several buses can drop you off at different points from where you can start your hikes and go to the Calanques of Sormiou, Morgiou or En-Vau for example. Take enough water, sunscreen and good walking shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our little pleasure? We go to Les Goudes for a small evening in one of the restaurants (book beforehand!) or just come and watch the sunset over the Ch\u00e2teau d’If and the island of Frioul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cannes attracts many tourists because of its luxury shops, the steps of the Festival with its red carpet and its Croisette. It is good to stroll with the wind, sunglasses on. You can choose to be chic or go to the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Old Port, take the shuttle to the L\u00e8rins Islands and find a sunbathing spot on a cove, or visit the Mus\u00e9e de la Mer at Fort Royal if you have some time left!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hinterland, Grasse is where perfume factories Fragonard, Molinard or Galimard are located. During your visit to Galimard, you can create your personalized perfume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
