Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, Marseille

Definitely worth a nice walk up from the centre of town to the top of the hill - takes you through some good streets to look at. it is very impressive on the inside and some incredible views from the outside. I will warn you though it's very popular.

Beautiful sights of the city. Lovely building. We climbed the steps, there is also the option to park next to the church (top of the hill) or you can also take an elevator if you are not driving. We went in March and there was plenty parking space.

This place has the best view I have ever had! I went on a summer evening and I could not believe my eyes how beautiful this place can be. It makes you realize that out there in the world are places worth to see and travelling it's the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

This is a uniquely beautiful old church. France is full of beautiful old churches at the top of hills. This one is unique in a couple of ways . First is that it overlooks Marseille providing stunning panoramic views that are only available from the church grounds. Second and perhaps more interesting is the interior - there are dozens and dozens of nautical themed mobiles hanging from the ceiling. We also had the good fortune of visiting while the organ was being played by someone who really knew how to play.

Place with soul, and great view on the surrounding city. During hot summer can be problem with walk on hill, from city centre. Is required physical fitness, and bottle of water. In winter, the wind from the sea takes the breath away. Even It's hard to hold camera in both hands. Inside view offers memories from this place. Church is located higher and chaper lower. Inside on lower floor are located shops with souvenirs, and toilets. During winter, entrance is free of charge, during summer I can only guess, that everyone need to paid. There is also museum, but when i was there it was closed. In church are perfect paintings on walls and top, also from top are dropped small lines, to which are connected sailboats and bigger ship models, it's memory from the past, that was here a signal point for ships entering the Old Port.
