Marseille greets you with a working harbour and a wall of limestone rising behind it. Luxury car rental in Marseille with Zeus Prestige means a car waiting at a hotel on the Old Port, a villa above the sea or Marseille Provence Airport. Take a supercar along the cliffs, a smooth SUV or prestige car into the hills of the Alpilles, or a convertible across the Camargue delta.
Greek settlers from Phocaea founded Massalia around 600 BC, which makes Marseille the oldest city in France. Notre-Dame de la Garde watches over the Old Port, and Château d'If sits offshore. In 2013 it held the title of European Capital of Culture, and it houses the MuCEM museum, while Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation stands as one of its best-known modern landmarks.
Marseille is the second most populous city in France, with about 886,000 residents, and the Calanques National Park lies within its limits. Bouillabaisse, the traditional fish stew, arrives at tables overlooking the water. Beyond the suburbs, white limestone cliffs, rocky hills and the flat wetlands of the Rhône delta offer three quite different roads.
The cliffs along this coast belong to supercars and sports cars. Cap Canaille stands 394 metres above the Mediterranean between Cassis and La Ciotat, about 27 kilometres south-east of central Marseille, and is listed as France's highest sea cliff. The Corniche des Crêtes runs along its top inside the Calanques National Park, and the ochre sandstone face glows against the blue below. The road narrows, the drop fills the passenger window and your heartbeat quickens at each corner. At the viewpoint the exhaust ticks and the sea stretches out in every direction.
Easy cruising suits Les Baux, a stone village about 15 kilometres north-east of Arles. Les Baux rises on a rocky outcrop crowned by a ruined fortress, built between the 11th and 13th centuries across seven hectares. The geologist Pierre Berthier found bauxite here in the early 1820s, and the mineral took the village's name. The Carrières de Lumières, established in 1976, projects images onto the quarry walls of the Val d'Enfer. The lords of Les Baux once controlled 79 towns and villages, and the cabin stays quiet as the hills close in.
Put the roof down for this flat, open delta. The Camargue covers over 930 square kilometres between the two arms of the Rhône, and the white Camarguais horse is its emblem. The seafront town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer receives an annual Romani pilgrimage, salt has been extracted around Salin-de-Giraud, and the medieval fortress-town of Aigues-Mortes marks the western edge of the delta. The regional park dates from 1970. Salt air and the smell of brackish water rush through the open car, and the horizon keeps its distance.
