Home to amazing architecture and equally impressive natural formations, Marseille is a beach break, nature-lover’s paradise and a city escape rolled into one marvellous destination! Hit up the sightseeing essentials like the picture-perfect Basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde that dominates the skyline, the elegant art deco Opéra Municipal opera house situated in the heart of the city, and the famous port where you’ll find no shortage of sumptuous seafood. Speaking of the sea, grab your sandals and beach towel and make your way to the Plages Escale Borely for a fun-filled getaway on the sand along with an extra helping of bars, cafes, restaurants and water sports. If a bit of adventure is what you’re after, the Calaques that surround Marseille are an absolute must-visit.

After a short flight with on-board refreshments, you’ll touch down in the beautiful Mediterranean tiny city-state of Monaco.
