Traffic Information

Marseille is well-connected by France's major routes making it easy to reach nearby destinations and explore France fabulous Mediterranean coastline. The A50 takes you east to Cannes while the A7 runs west to Montpellier. Those taking a road trip in Provence might want to consider driving on the weekend when big trucks are not allowed on the roads. Whenever you are on the road be mindful you will most likely be sharing it with a number of cyclists.

Driving in the center of Marseille can get rather congested so it is recommended to leave your rental vehicle at any of the safe public parking lots around the city. The underground garage near the Old Port (Vieux Port) can be a great option for sightseeing during the day. The city's main thoroughfare is a long wide boulevard called the Canebière and stretches from the Old Port to the Réformés quarter. Those renting a car at our Sixt branch at Marseille train station will have quick access to the St. Charles tunnel which turns into the A7.

Sixt Tips

This Provencal metropolis is France's second largest city, steeped in over 1500 years of history it is also the site of impressive contemporary architecture and a bustling nightlife and port serving the Mediterranean. The old port (Vieux Port) is still the heart of the city and continues to have a vibrant economy with its cruise port and many yachts. There are many bars and restaurants here serving superb seafood and offering extraordinary views. The staggering Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée opened in 2013 for Marseille's year as the European Capital of Culture, the building itself is linked to the old port by a high footbridge that is a great vantage point with vistas out to sea. The museum delivers a fantastic overview of Mediterranean culture and history, from archeological finds to era-defining artworks. We also highly recommend the Greek quarter of Massilia for its colors and marketplace, and the view from Marseille's highest point La Garde where you can look out across the terracotta rooftops and visit the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde.

Sightseeing Destinations

Les Calanques are situated just south of the city and make an excellent day trip with your car rental in Marseille. The whole area is a national park with stunning flora and fauna but the main attraction is the limestone cliffs that stand out starkly against the deep blue Mediterranean.

The elegant city of Aix-en-Provence was the birthplace of Paul Cézanne and surrounding landscapes were the subject of his post-impressionist paintings. It offers a less gritty urban experience to Marseille, known for cafe culture, opera festivals and the stately Cours Mirabeau avenue with its fountains and grandiose aristocratic town houses.

  • from Marseille Airport via D9: 17 miles, about 30 minutes
  • from Marseille St. Charles train station via A7/A51: 19.6 miles, about 30 minutes
