Balcony overlooking the Mediterranean!

Up there on the top of things to do during your stay at Marseille, has to be a visit to The Corniche Promenade. Sometimes referred to as a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean, this beautiful terrace looks out across the vast blue ocean. Also on the terrace you will find the world's longest city bench, over 2 kilometers long, where you can rest your tired bones after the hike up to the top.

More than just your average church!

Notre Dame de la Garde is also another popular spot to visit during your stay at the Hotel Escale ocean front property in Marseille. This ornate Neo-Byzantine church is situated at the highest natural point in Marseille. More than just your run-of-the-mill church, it once acted as a fortress guarding the city of Marseille against attack.

The church stands on a limestone peak 490 feet high, and is accessible by public transport so don't worry about the walk up. Inside you will see beautiful ornate decoration, gold mosaics, model boats and plenty of paintings. Outside the church you will find the beautiful sculpture of the Passion of Christ, with the glistening ocean as a perfect backdrop to this piece of art.

The Med's own Alcatraz!

The Chateau d’If is a fortress which later became a prison located on If island in the Bay of Marseille. Famously it was one of the settings for the adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo.

Once you get back to shore, why not check out the old port of Le Vieux? One of the best known areas of Marseilles, the surrounding area of the port is lined with numerous restaurants and cafes. Perfect for that after dinner stroll or early morning walk, you can catch the locals auctioning off their best catches first thing each day. For other things to do around the port you should check out Theatre National de la Criee or further down the Basillique St Victor Road, which is also known as the key to the port.

I fell in love with the room as soon as I walked in. Very new and great design. The only thing I didn't care for, was the bed comforter was the only blanket/sheet. V...
