Welcome to Bouches-du-Rhône (13), a department bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, with Marseille as its prefecture.
Marseille’s historic harbour and Mediterranean setting have shaped its maritime and cultural identity. The old town and waterfront offer starting points for exploring the city.
The traditional capital of the former County of Provence is Aix-en-Provence, where the Provençal art of living is at its best. Stroll through its shady streets, soak up its elegant architecture and savour the enchanting atmosphere of its lively markets.
Arles is a city steeped in Roman history, where every stone tells the story of a glorious era. As a former imperial capital, it reveals its architectural treasures and rich cultural heritage.
As well as beautiful cities steeped in history such as Tarascon, the Bouches-du-Rhône region boasts some exceptional natural sites that are symbols of Provence: from the steep Calanques between Marseille and Cassis to the majestic Camargue plain, via the crests of the Alpilles and the picturesque Baux-de-Provence, each site reveals the splendour of Provençal nature.
Soak up the authenticity of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Provencal traditions live on with pride. A blend of historic heritage and the art of living, this charming town embodies the soul of Provence.
Summer is very lively in Bouches-du-Rhône, with festivals, markets, ports, village evenings and Mediterranean landscapes.
Spring and autumn offer a softer rhythm for visiting Aix-en-Provence, Arles, the Alpilles, Camargue and the Calanques, with generous light for walks and sightseeing.
Aix-en-Provence suits cultural stays, the Alpilles are ideal for villages and landscapes, Arles and Camargue for heritage and open spaces, while Marseille and Cassis are natural bases for the sea.
A guest house in Bouches-du-Rhône makes it possible to combine historic towns, coastline and Provençal countryside in one stay.
The department brings together several major sides of Provence, from the Mediterranean coast to inland landscapes.
