How to get there

Location: Port de la Pointe Rouge, 13008 Marseille.

Where to stay

Marseille offers a variety of lodgings, ranging from traditional fishermen's houses converted into boutique guesthouses in the Goudes area to more modern hotels near the Port de la Pointe Rouge. Prices fluctuate significantly depending on proximity to the coast, generally ranging from €120 to €350 per night during the summer season. For those seeking a closer connection to the environment, several campsites operate along the perimeter of the national park, offering a more utilitarian experience for participants arriving with support crews.

Things to do nearby

Beyond the water, the region is defined by its limestone topography, perfect for guided trekking along the cliff-top trails that overlook the race route. Visitors often explore the coastal coves via kayak or stand-up paddleboard to appreciate the scale of the flooded valleys from a different perspective. Gastronomic traditions are centered on local seafood, with many harbor-side establishments offering tastings of regional specialties that reflect the maritime history of the port city.
