Campervan hire in Marseille
The campervan — VW California, Mercedes Marco Polo, Ford Transit Nugget — is the ultimate freedom format in Marseille: it drives like a large car, parks in town, yet hides a bed, a kitchenette and often a pop-top roof. It is the most contested segment of the market, split between private owners and professional fleets — the one where comparing platforms pays most.

By campervan out of Marseille: routes and stopovers
Marseille puts the whole of Provence within van range. To the west, the Côte Bleue strings together the coves of Niolon and La Vesse as far as Carry-le-Rouet, forty minutes away. Eastwards, Cassis and the Route des Crêtes over Cap Canaille — closed on strong mistral days — deliver the finest balcony on this coast. Inland, the Sainte-Baume massif is an hour out, the Luberon an hour and a quarter, the Camargue ninety minutes and the Verdon gorges a good two hours.
Don't expect to sleep near the Calanques: overnight parking is banned there and the car parks are patrolled. The smart move is to base yourself at aires and campsites in the hinterland, around Aubagne, Cassis or the Aix countryside, and day-trip in. In summer, access to the massifs (Calanques, Sainte-Baume) is regulated according to daily fire risk: check the prefecture's map each evening before planning the next day's hike. Spring and autumn are the real seasons here.

The narrow, windy Route des Crêtes is best enjoyed off-mistral with a compact vehicle.
