Ferry to Marseille: Travel Guide

When to take the ferry to Marseille?

If you're looking for sunny beaches and blue skies, the summer months (July and August) are ideal for visiting the Mediterranean coast and enjoying high temperatures ranging from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius. However, this time of year is also the most touristy, which can lead to heavy crowds at the most popular resorts and tourist sites.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds and scorching temperatures, spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October) are ideal times to visit France. Temperatures are mild and pleasant, fluctuating between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the weather is generally sunny with a few showers possible. It's also an ideal season to explore the wine regions, the Loire castles or enjoy local festivals.
