The airport is situated on the D20 at Marignane and is clearly signposted from the A7 motorway, which is the main access route. It lies about 17 miles north-west of the city centre, 16 miles from Aix-en-Provence and 56 miles from Toulon.

Whether you fancy a cute compact for an urban jaunt, an elegant saloon for a business trip or a spacious people carrier for a family holiday, your perfect vehicle awaits.We’ll pack all the extras you need to get the most from your venture – from sat nav and super-fast mobile Wi-Fi, to our tailored range of child seats. And, you don’t have to drive full circle: why not make the most of one way car hire?
Marseille Airport is located around 27 km from the town centre, so you can be in the centre of this coastal melting pot within half an hour, if traffic allows.
Once you’re in Marseille, there’s plenty to see. The town’s historic Old Port is one of Europe’s largest harbours, and it’s overlooked by the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, a Catholic church built in the 19th century atop ancient ruins. There are plenty of impressive restaurants around town, where you can sample the city’s iconic Bouillabaisse seafood dish, amongst other local delicacies. And if you have time, you should check out the famous Opera house. It’s built in the Classical style, and was the most prestigious cultural centre of Marseille until the 1970s.
