The surrounding area of Provence is famed for its outstanding natural beauty and is perfectly suited for a day trip out in the car. Take a drive to the old streets of Vieil Aix or to the criss-crossing marshes and expansive farmlands of Camargue, or travel east to the town of Toulon.
For a bit of a change, pack up the car for a day out and drive along the Corniche or visit the Iles du Frioul, the four islands off the coast of Marseilles. You could also make the most of the coastal location and travel away from the busy working city on one of the ferries to Corsica.
With Marseille car hire so much is possible, making a trip to France an opportunity to see and experience far more than just a single city or town.
