Variant: hiking holiday with permanent accommodation in Marseille

If you want to approach your hiking holiday in a more relaxed manner and don't like to hike from place to place with luggage, you might be interested in a variant with fixed accommodation instead of the long-distance hike.

If you choose Marseille as your permanent overnight location, you can cover the most beautiful stages of the coastal hiking trail we have described in sections. The starting points for most of the stages can be reached quite quickly from Marseille by public transport and are therefore also easy to do as separate day hikes. Only stage 2 has to be left out - but this is also the least spectacular of all stages.
