This adorable little blue train was such a cute little tourist attraction! When I read about it…read morewhile doing my Marseilles research I knew i had to ride it! I love a scenic tour of a new-to-me location. Then when I found out you can hop off at Notre-Dame de la Garde if you take route no 1? That was absolutely perfect,
After buying your ticket at the Old Port (route 1 is 10 euros for adults rn), you board this train which comes every 20 minutes. More frequent in peak seasons, less frequent in off seasons.
Once onboard, keep in mind you'll feel any elements if it's rainy or windy as it's open air. It's a nice trip though because it's not just a great scenic train but they do have commentary in several languages, including English y por supuesto Español. Views and facts, I'm a weirdo, but I love it.
Everyone usually gets off to walk around at the Notre Dame stop and why wouldn't you?! They take you straight to the Basilica so you can walk up the stairs to the chapel & amazing views of Marseilles.
Petit Train is a highly recommended must-do when in Marseilles!
