A convenient location for exploring the landscapes of the south without hassle.

In Marseille, there are numerous and contrasting discoveries to be made. Within a few minutes' drive, you can reach the lively Old Port district, always vibrant with café terraces and the fish market. From there, the walk naturally continues to La Canebière or toward Fort Saint-Jean and the Mucem, a museum with daring architecture offering a fascinating perspective on Mediterranean civilizations.
Religious heritage enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, a Marseille emblem overlooking the city from its hilltop. It is easily accessible, and the effort is richly rewarded with a panoramic view of the harbor and the Frioul islands.
For a seaside break, several urban beaches await: Les Catalans, Le Prophète, or the Prado seaside park, which is very popular with families. The more curious can head to the Soap Museum, which playfully retraces the history of this iconic city product.
From the hotel, it's also easy to reach the Calanques of Cassis. This rugged and spectacular coastline can be explored on foot or by boat, leaving a lasting impression on those who venture there. It’s one of the best ways to discover the region from another angle, between white cliffs and turquoise waters.
A few kilometers away, Aubagne offers a more discreet charm, with its ancient streets and its connection to Pagnol's work. A stop at the Château de la Buzine or a walk along the trails of the Garlaban allows visitors to reconnect with a more intimate Provence, far from clichés.
The B&B HOTEL Marseille La Valentine Porte d'Aubagne caters to both passing travelers and those keen to discover the various facets of Marseille. It combines accessibility, comfort, and useful services in a setting that prioritizes simplicity without neglecting the essentials.
