The trek. "Marseille otherwise", with Chamina Voyages, a 3-day/2-night star hike with a day of visiting the city and a day at sea.
Why is it good? The city trek is the new trend of the city break! Indeed, there is nothing like it to discover a city from the inside, by browsing (and getting lost!) its alleys or its secret places. Here, we sleep with the locals, so we share the daily life of “real” Marseillais who give us their best addresses in the Marseille city. We also embark on a day at sea, to learn about fishing with a local fisherman, or to learn the basics of sailing.
Forward, march! From €180 for 3 days/2 nights, www.chamina-voyages.com. Extensions on the peninsula of Giens and Porquerolles or in the creeks.
And also. "From the bay of Marseille to the creeks of Cassis", with Huwans Clubaventure, a 6-day hike of moderate level, www.huwans-clubaventure.fr.
