The best view of Marseille is from the Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde, the highest and most visited site in the city. And the best way to get there and see France's second largest city spread spectacularly at your feet is on the Little Train. Climb past the Cathédrale de la Major, St Victor Abbey, the finely-manicured city gardens and beautiful Marseillaises houses perched on the hillside. The ride is narrated, so learn about the city while appreciating its steepness. Explore the Basilica before boarding the train to return to Le Vieux Port to explore its myriad waterside cafés and bars.
