And that\u2019s why I took my three-year-old to Marseille. But is Marseille with kids a good idea? You\u2019re about to find out.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course I\u2019m going to squeeze in playground trips and carve out time for naps. But I\u2019m also going to make sure I enjoy my trip too. Here\u2019s how I found the best of both worlds on my Marseille getaway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component text-block rich-text  padS padBottom\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why go to Marseille with kids?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First off, this southern French city has a lovely climate for an off-peak trip. And if your small person isn\u2019t in primary school yet, flying off-season is the business. Fewer tourists and usually better value flights and accommodation. That\u2019s a win in my book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, it\u2019s convenient. The flight is just under 2.5 hours from Dublin and the airport is about 30 minutes away from the city by bus. So if you\u2019re flying to Marseille with kids, the travelling shouldn\u2019t take it out of you too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the last reason is the food! Marseille is a fantastic place to visit if eating is your priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We went a few years ago, but it\u2019s since been dubbed \u201cBerlin on the Med\u201d with lots of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/abroad\/2026\/01\/11\/why-are-so-many-irish-moving-to-marseille-the-new-berlin-on-the-med\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irish creatives making it their home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s not hard to see why \u2013 we found it hard to leave after our city break!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component text-block rich-text  padS padBottom\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting around Marseille with kids<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The city itself is pretty compact, which is always good when you\u2019re with a child. However, it\u2019s also pretty hilly and paths can be narrow, so depending on your route, it\u2019s a workout pushing your small person around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public transport is pretty good, but the metro system is tricky to navigate with a buggy so we relied on buses and trams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re with a younger kid, a baby carrier could be a good option. And if you\u2019re out of the buggy stage of your life, getting around Marseille with kids should be fine as long as they\u2019re not afraid of the odd hill!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component text-block rich-text  padS padBottom\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where we stayed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We stayed near Notre Dame du Mont, which overlooks the city (read: is up a hill).
