Marseille, its light, its Old Port, and its Calanques National Park… The Phocaean city is a dream destination that deserves to be protected. Today, responsible travel is no longer an option, but a way of life. Discover how to explore Marseille while minimizing your carbon footprint.
Choose certified accommodation: The Green Key label
The first step towards responsible travel begins with choosing the right hotel. By staying in a Green Key certified establishment , such as the Hotel Bellevue , you are guaranteed rigorous management of water, energy, and waste. It's the choice of modern comfort combined with a strong environmental ethic, right in the heart of the city.
Local cuisine with an eco-friendly impact
Eating sustainably in Marseille means prioritizing local sourcing. For your meals, choose restaurants committed to sustainability. Our restaurant, La Caravelle, is proud to display the Écotable IMPACT label . On the menu: seasonal produce, locally caught seafood, and reduced food waste. A treat for your taste buds and a gesture for the planet, all with a breathtaking view of the Old Port.
Getting around without polluting in the Phocaean city
Marseille is best explored using a "gentle" approach. The Bellevue's central location allows for perfect accessibility without a car:
- The Ferry-Boat: The most environmentally friendly crossing of the Old Port in the world.
- Public transport: Metro and self-service bicycles are right next to the hotel.
- The walk: Le Panier and the MuCEM are just a few minutes away.
Respect the fragile ecosystem of the Calanques
Visiting the Calanques is a must. For responsible tourism:
- Opt for access via sea shuttles or buses.
- Please stay on the marked trails to protect the flora.
- Always bring a water bottle (the hotel offers water points to avoid plastic).
