The Little Train of Marseille
The little train : ideal for admiring inner Marseille without getting tired. The pace of the little train allows you to take beautiful photos. You will wander through the streets of Le Panier, the Old Port, up to the Bonne Mère, but also the Frioul if you take a crossing, where a circuit awaits you. 3 circuits in total to visit the Phocaean city in peace.
LITTLE TRAIN CIRCUIT : IN THE HEART OF OLD MARSEILLE
The circuit "Little Train du Panier" takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes, including a 30-minute stop in the Panier district.

LITTLE TRAIN TOUR : GREETINGS TO THE BONNE MÈRE
This is perhaps the most requested route by visitors, the " Notre Dame de la Garde " circuit. It must be said that it's quite a climb, and the idea of climbing the Way of the Cross in the middle of summer doesn't appeal to everyone. A circuit that doesn't just stop at the Bonne Mère, as it also passes through the Corniche Kennedy to admire Vallon des Auffes, the Frioul Islands, and the Château d'If. From April to October, departures are every 20 minutes from 10 am to 12:20 pm and from 1:40 pm to 6:20 pm.
