There aren’t only taxis in life… Marseille has made room for bikes so that you can discover its incredible landscapes, its little stories and its many monuments. On your own or with friends, on a guided ride or in total freedom, anything goes in Marseille!

Marseille, doing its utmost for cyclists

A new bike path, just for you

A good piece of cycling news is the recently finished cycling past of the Corniche which links the Vieux-Port to the beaches of Le Prado, at the foot of the statue of David. A secure ride of two kilometres to do in total freedom or with the family or friends, to avoid visiting Marseille on foot yet another time. A cyclist pictogram drawn on the ground opens the way to a pretty ride on the sea front, the safety barriers allow you to pedal along without interruption. This development is part of the project for a cycling network dreamed up by the Métropole d’Aix-Marseille in the framework of its Bike Scheme.

For a completely crazy visit, choose FADA BIKE !

Want to visit Marseille and the Parc National des Calanques? Why not do it by bike!

The electric bike is an easy, fun way to discover Marseille, for all ages! But it doesn’t stop there! There are scooters, kids’ seats and even trailers available to carry the whole family! Our favourite circuit is the Tour du Fada (in Marseille that means “away with the fairies”), ideal for discovering the town-centre, the Mucem esplanade, the sea shore and Notre-Dame de la Garde. And for the littles, a small 2-hour tour specially designed for families!
