Hi, I’m Raph

Hey, I'm Raph! I love Marseille for its vibrant mix of nature, culture, and history - from the sparkling sea and nearby mountains to its football passion, street food, and fascinating past. I enjoy swimming at spots like Fausse Monnaie or Malmousque, wandering through lively street markets and exploring neighborhoods like Le Panier, Endoume, La Plaine and the Vieux Port. Marseille is a city of constant change and I love seeing how its districts evolve over time. I’m passionate about its pop culture, sports and culinary scene, and I enjoy sharing the stories, architecture and hidden gems that make the city so unique.

Hi, I’m Virginie

Marseille
5.0 (1)

I adore how the city shifts from lively streets to peaceful coves, from modern spaces to charming, historic neighborhoods, all enriched by its multicultural spirit and incredible food scene. Some of my favorite moments are simple ones: watching the sunrise at the beach, catching the sunset near Notre Dame de la Garde, or spending Sundays at the Old Port market before strolling through the Corniche or the Panier. I know the heart of Marseille inside out – from the Old Port and Cours Julien to Prado beaches and the Frioul Islands – and I’m passionate about sharing its food, history, and hidden gems. With me, you’ll experience Marseille in a way that feels authentic and alive.

This city has such a unique spirit, and I never get tired of exploring it. You’ll often find me wandering through museums or getting lost in the narrow, colorful streets of Le Panier, one of my favorite neighborhoods, or down by the bustling seaport where Marseille’s soul really shines. With a deep appreciation for the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, I enjoy sharing the stories and little details that make this place so special. Whether it’s a hidden corner, a lively square, or a cultural gem, I’d love to help you experience Marseille in a way that feels authentic, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Hi, I’m Tania

Marseille

What I love most about Marseille is its uniqueness - the way the coastline, the charm of the old neighborhoods, and the blend of cultures all come together to make this city so authentic. You’ll often find me hiking or swimming in the calanques, enjoying apéro with friends, or browsing through second-hand markets. I also love discovering new cafés, bars, and artsy corners of the city. I know the Old Port, Saint Victor, and Cour Julien like the back of my hand, and I’m always happy to share the best little spots for photos, sunsets, or a perfect glass of wine. For me, Marseille is a city that’s best experienced through its atmosphere and hidden gems - and I’d love to show you around like a friend.

Hi, I’m Benjamin

Marseille

For me, Marseille is all about contrasts - the buzz of lively neighborhoods where people spill into the streets to chat and share food, and the calm of Provence’s nature just beyond the city. I love wandering through the streets, always on the lookout for new shops, restaurants, or hidden corners, because Marseille never stands still - it’s constantly changing. And when I need a break from the city, I head for a hike or simply relax in one of its many parks. With a passion for the city’s history and architecture, and an unstoppable love for its breathtaking landscapes, I enjoy showing visitors how Marseille blends vibrant energy with timeless beauty.
