By staying at our campsite, you are at an ideal distance to explore one of Marseille's cultural jewels: the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations, better known by the acronym Mucem. Here's how to enrich your stay with this unique cultural experience.
Why visit the Mucem?
The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations (Mucem) is an architectural feat and a tribute to the cultural richness of the Mediterranean. Located at the entrance to the Old Port, this museum is a place of dialogue between civilizations, offering visitors a deep dive into the history, art and traditions of the region. Its exhibitions and public spaces, open to the sea, make it a must-see in the Phocaean city. It is an invitation to travel through time and space, from the shores of our campsite to the confines of Mediterranean history.
How to get to the Mucem from the campsite?
By public transport: a simple and ecological option. Buses and the Marseille metro serve the city center from several departure points. Plan your trip to the Old Port, then enjoy a short walk to the museum.
By car: for more flexibility, the car is still a good option. The Mucem has parking nearby, but don't forget to check availability during the high season.
