Where to go by alcove motorhome around Marseille

An hour away, the Sainte-Baume massif and its ancient relict forest; at seventy-five minutes, the hilltop villages of the Luberon around Bonnieux. The Camargue and its flamingos are ninety minutes out, the Verdon gorges a good two hours — enough to alternate sea, garrigue and lavender within a single trip.

When to rent an alcove motorhome in Marseille

Spring and autumn are Marseille’s true seasons: a swimmable sea, open trails and flowing traffic. In July and August the Calanques saturate by mid-morning and the massifs often close for fire risk. The mistral can blow hard for days at a stretch in any season, shutting the Route des Crêtes when it does.
