Quick ride by bicycle from Marseille 06 to Marseille 02

This easygoing ride will take you from the heart of Marseille’s 6th arrondissement—known for its lively cafes and local vibe—up to the historic 2nd arrondissement, which hugs the Old Port. Covering just about 2.5 km, it’s a perfect urban adventure, mostly on paved and quiet roads, with only a sprinkle of cobblestones to keep things interesting. There’s a slight downhill trend (you’ll drop almost 40 meters!), so you can enjoy the city scenes without worrying about tough climbs.

As you roll northwards, you’ll pass through some classic Marseille streets, maybe catching glimpses of bustling markets or snippets of harbor views. Your journey ends near the Vieux-Port, a lively district filled with history, trendy restaurants, and the iconic MuCEM museum close by. This short route is a great way to connect two vibrant Marseille neighborhoods while soaking up the Mediterranean city’s charm.
