Le Grand Blue Entre le Ciel et la mer

On the top of the Calanque de Niolon, the GrandBleu is surprisingly bright and with its dominant location and breathtaking view, it will ensure you a dream stay. The sea is just down the stairs.

Two terraces, sun or shade depending on the moment, for lounging or having a drink are there for your comfort. There is everything you need in the calanque to eat or buy takeaway food on pace. And you can come by train to Niolon from Marseille.

Our 47 m² apartment has a bedroom with a double bed overlooking an inner courtyard. A mezzanine houses another double bed. In the very spacious living room you will find a very comfortable sofa bed and a dining table, with a breathtaking view of Marseille. The kitchen is very practical and fully equipped with everything you need. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower, sink and toilet. You can also have breakfast on the terrace. The inner courtyard is shared, but you can also enjoy this shaded area.

To arrive:

Train: Take the Marseille - Saint-Miramas line and get off at Niolon station, located 23 minutes from Marseille. The train runs along the blue coast, offering an extraordinary view.

Car: Take the A55 motorway and exit in the direction of "Le Rove".

The apartment is not accessible by car. Car traffic is currently controlled in the cove, only residents and shopkeepers have access to the cove. This measure is necessary to preserve the cove, as car traffic was causing nuisance. You must park your car in the free collective parking lot. A quick stop in front of the small tunnel is possible, but you must reverse again.PGJyPg
