Unforgettable experience, a panoramic city views. Reach it was simply I didn't have any car and from the Vieux-Port (Old Harbour) leaves every 30 minutes a bus that connects the port to the ''Basilique'' at a truly affordable journey it takes about 30 minutes to reach the top of the hill. From here you are walking through a staircase that... More

free to access, you can take the bus from the port (86) for 1.5E or the touristic little blue traine from the other side of the port for 8E (2 ways fee).

Ver nice architecture with stunning views of all of Marseille. Nice interior and an interesting history.

Marseille for me was quite interesting but not that much com pare with my Normandy and Brittany trip.

what a great time we had , climbing the hill to this beautiful church. It was a real workout and then you get 360 degrees of eye candy plus go through old streets, it is a must!
