Marseille Evening Guided Tour with Tuk-Tuk, Underground Tunnels, and Stargazing
This guided evening tour in Marseille suits those who want to explore historic sites, coastal views, and stargazing experiences using eco-friendly transport.
Description
Begin your evening at Fort Saint-Jean, a 12th-century fortress guarding the Old Port entrance. Explore the MuCEM Gardens on the fort’s upper levels, featuring Mediterranean plants and elevated views of the sea and port during sunset.
Walk across the footbridge connecting Fort Saint-Jean to the MuCEM, a museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, illuminated at night with modern architecture by Rudy Ricciotti.
Travel by electric tuk-tuk along Corniche Kennedy, Marseille’s iconic coastal road. Enjoy views of the sea, Calanques rocky outcrops, and the Frioul islands, passing landmarks such as the fishing cove Vallon des Auffes and Monument aux Morts de l’Armée d’Orient.
Visit the Phare de Sainte Marie lighthouse at the harbor entrance, offering nighttime views of the Old Port and the Mediterranean, while learning about its maritime significance.
Explore the underground tunnels beneath Palais Longchamp, guided by torchlight. Discover the 19th-century canal tunnels that once supplied fresh water to Marseille, contrasting the quiet tunnels with the palace’s grand architecture visible under the stars.
Conclude the tour on the rooftop of Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse, a UNESCO-listed modernist building. With help from a local astronomer, observe stars, planets, and constellations through telescopes, enhanced by the minimalist rooftop design.
