Marseille port picture

Marseille

Experience the vibrant port city without the traffic. A rapid helicopter transfer offering spectacular coastal views upon arrival.

Marseille is France's oldest city and its second-largest, and by road it sits at the far, congested end of the Riviera from Monaco. By helicopter the transfer takes around 50 minutes, tracing the coastline past the Calanques before landing at Marseille Provence, a short chauffeured ride from the Vieux-Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde. It's a direct route for business meetings in the city's port and logistics sector, and an easy way to add Marseille's markets and bouillabaisse to a Riviera itinerary without sacrificing a day to the A8 autoroute.
