Since the arrival of Greek sailors and merchants from Phocaea, Marseille has been an important trading and transit port. Marseille’s access to the Mediterranean Sea has made it a cosmopolitan city rich in its cultural and economic exchanges with southern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. It is also often considered the “Door to the Orient” in France.
City of art and culture, Marseille has many wonders to offer. Thanks to its 26 centuries of existence, it combines tradition and modernity.
The city remains deeply marked by its past and today offers a real journey that leads the visitor from its Greek and Roman origins to the modernity of our century and the great architectural achievements of the 21st century.
Named European Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseille immediately immerses you in the feel of Provence: the sun, the multi colored boat and the southern “chanting” accent immediately come to mind.

An essential activity in the South of France, the pétanque tournament is a must, in that it offers a moment of conviviality, thanks to the ultimate southern summer game. Did you also know that this was a sport in its own right, which included more than 300,000 players in France alone? Petanque is played alone and in teams of 2 or 3 people, with a triplet of balls in hand. Practiced on a 6m long sandy ground, the adversaries clash while trying to shoot their balls as close as possible to the jack (small wooden ball). The pétanque tournament allows you to put yourself in a competitive condition while enjoying a pleasant activity and in a great and relaxed atmosphere.
Embark on a regatta during a prestigious and original team-building with an ideal activity to strengthen cohesion and communication within a team. Indeed, a regatta requires reflection, but above all, capacities for adaptation and coordination which make it possible to achieve collective performance and thus learn to work better together. Before « taking the plunge », the participants will regroup in teams and will benefit from an initiation. Each team will be accompanied by a skipper and will receive a card and a log book. Also, each participant will have an active role on his boat, the skipper being only there to guide them while remaining in charge of safety. The level of difficulty of the activity will be adapted to your experience and we will define together the course and the sailboats that best meet your expectations.
To organize a team building, these adventures activities are multiple within the creeks and are fully adaptable to the sporting level of the participants. Each challenge is supervised by professional monitors. The aim of these activities is to provide your teams with a moment of togetherness by developing their competitiveness but also by focusing on sharing aid and support. Some examples of activities: climbing in the creeks with zip lines over the water, orienteering in the middle of the coves, games such as rallies or olympiads which allow you to discover the region or even quizzes and tastings of regional food specialties. We organize these “à la carte” activities according to your desires and your budget. We then suggest the best locations according to the chosen activities.
