📍 From Le char Jeanne d'Arc, France
Perched on Marseille’s highest hill, Notre-Dame de la Garde is an iconic basilica affectionately known as “La Bonne Mère.” Built in the mid-19th century, it features a distinctive Byzantine-Romanesque style, adorned with colorful mosaics and a striking golden Virgin Mary statue that watches over the city. The panoramic terrace offers sweeping views of the Old Port, the Mediterranean Sea, and the surrounding hills, making it a favorite spot for photos. Visitors can hike up the winding steps or ride the Petit Train from the Vieux-Port, while inside, ornate mosaics and maritime-themed ex-votos highlight Marseille’s rich seafaring heritage.
