Good to see the museums re-opening, though do expect masks to be obligatory; social distancing is required too but most in Marseille are spacious and quiet enough for this to be do-able. The three listed above – Vieille Charité, Musée d’Histoire and the Musée des Beaux Arts are all worth a visit.
MuCEM re-opens on 29th June (daily exc Tuesdays 10-20Hrs) and is free until 21st July. New exhibition is ‘Vetements Modeles’, the story of 5 different types of clothing.
And if you want to visit Notre Dame de la Garde for one of the best views of the Med, the petit train is operating again. From what I saw on the TV news, the Vieux Port area looked very quiet and the petit train operator said they had very few customers for the moment. A good time to take advantage of this as there are usually queues from passengers from the cruise ships. They are operating trips around the ancient Panier district too. Screens of plexiglass have been fitted behind each seat up to the ceiling for customer-protection. http://petit-train-marseille.com/fr/accueil/
Mask on….enjoy Marseille!
Great news!
