πŸ—οΈ

Marseille Vieux-Port

The historic heart of the city and its densely packed Mediterranean architecture.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'arrival' view. On the approach to Runway 31L/R, you will pass directly alongside the Calanques and the city center. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the Corsican mountains, while evening flights provide a glittering view of Marseille's city lights.
