Pick up your camper van rental in Marseille and explore the South of France, especially the beautiful Provence. You can easily drive to the Calanques National Park and spend some quiet time relaxing and unwinding in nature with delicious local food. If you are more in the mood to explore, head for Aix-en-Provence. Read on for our top tips to help you prepare for your next road trip:
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for short tourist visits to France. Here’s what you should know if you’re planning to travel:
Like all big cities, parking in the center is not the easiest thing to do. We recommend renting one of our compact camper vans to navigate the busy city streets, but you’ll still have to be patient as the streets are narrow and there are few available parking spaces. When you do find a spot, paid parking in the streets of Marseille is available between 9 am and 7 pm from Monday to Saturday, except on Sundays and public holidays.
If you want to park close to the city center in a monitored parking lot, the Indigo Vieux Port Museum paid parking area is a good option. You’ll find that Level 1 is accessible to vehicles up to almost 10 and a half feet. From there, you can stroll through the beautiful historical city of Marseilles.
Before you return your roadsurfer camper van, you can refill with diesel and AdBlue at one of these convenient gas stations near our location here:
Please note: The AdBlue service station information provided is for guidance only and is provided without warranty of any kind; customers are advised to check the information for accuracy on their own responsibility, as roadsurfer assumes no liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the information.
You need to fill up the fresh water tank at the beginning of your road trip and empty the grey water before returning your camper van to our Marseille station. To do this, visit the nearby Power Dot facilities:
Alternatively, there is a campground for RVs called Carro Aire Camping Car, located in the cozy harbor town of Carro, between Montpellier and Marseille. Every morning the fish market happens right next to the site, which you can visit before heading back. You can fill up the fresh water tank and empty the grey water tank at the campground, but you can only use the facilities if you pay the 24-hour fee.
You should find all the essentials included in your rental, but for any last-minute items, as well as food, there are several grocery stores not far from the roadsurfer station. Tesco and Asda have clothes, sheets and comforters, household goods, and toiletries. If you have a lot of things to buy, try The Centre shopping center in Feltham, a 10-minute drive away, which has various grocery stores, a Boots pharmacy, clothing stores, and food courts.
Marseille can be visited all year round and offers a lot of opportunities in terms of weather depending on what type of journey you want to take. Choose between a hot summer to sunbathe and relax on the beach, or a mild and pleasant winter without too much rain. In general, the best time to visit the region is between April and November. Nevertheless, whether you are a fan of the Calanques or cultural visits such as the Mucem, Marseille will open its doors to you all year round and show you all of its beauty.
