Marseille with your class
The Château d'If, the Calanques, the MUCEM, Notre-Dame de la Garde, the Vieux-Port and the Palais Longchamp sit within a compact, walkable city — a city that is simultaneously ancient and urgently alive. Throughout, Marseille's multilingual, multicultural character gives the trip a depth that no classroom can replicate.
On the Move is the officially accredited school trips provider for the European Schools in Belgium — every trip has a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
Trip highlights
A boat crossing to the island fortress of Château d'If — immortalised by Dumas, set in the Bay of Marseille, and one of the most atmospheric guided visits in the south of France
A guided half-day hike through the Calanques — dramatic limestone cliffs plunging into turquoise water, one of Europe's most spectacular coastal national parks, minutes from the city centre
A guided visit to the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations — one of France's most architecturally striking contemporary buildings, its lace-work concrete shell cantilevered over the sea at the entrance to the Vieux-Port
