🌊⚓ Weekend Getaway in Marseille: By the Sea 🐟☀️

#hellohalloween 📍 Location: Marseille, France Marseille is a city where the Mediterranean breeze meets historic charm — and even a short weekend here feels like a mini-holiday by the sea. 🚶♀️ Things to Do: Start your Saturday exploring the Old Port (Vieux-Port), where fishing boats line the harbor and cafés bustle with locals. Take a boat trip to the Frioul Islands or the famous Château d’If, immortalized in The Count of Monte Cristo. On Sunday, hike or take a short ride to the Calanques National Park — stunning turquoise coves surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs. 🥖 What to Eat: Marseille is famous for bouillabaisse, a rich Provençal fish stew best enjoyed by the water. Grab panisse (chickpea fritters) or fresh seafood platters from local markets. Don’t forget to sample navettes, orange-blossom biscuits unique to Marseille. 💡 Savings Tip: Skip taxis and use public ferries that cross the Old Port for just a couple of euros — you’ll get the same gorgeous views for a fraction of the price. 🌆 Highlights: Sunrise over the harbor, the smell of grilled seafood drifting through narrow streets, and that first glimpse of the glittering Mediterranean. ✨ Marseille by the sea is all about relaxation, history, and salty air. Would you spend your weekend here? 🌊⚓ #marseille #weekendgetaway #mediterraneanescape #francetravel #seasidevibes
