Cassis Calanques Plongee
I really enjoyed the guided dives, but I think it’s worth asking about the group's experience level before starting. It can make a big difference in your overall experience.
Serre Chevalier
If you're new to snowkiting I suggest taking a lesson the first day. It made all the difference for me! They really help you get the hang of it quickly. Save yourself the struggle and go for the introductory class.
Check out the rental shops before the day you plan to kite. I found some pretty good deals online that were way cheaper than what I saw in the shops on-site. Don't just go for convenience.
My advice is to pack some snacks and a thermos with hot beverage. The cafes can get busy and pricey. Trust me, having your own little break setup on the snow is super cozy!
Verdon Gorge
If you're planning to try kayaking, go early! I went around 10 am, and the lines got super long by noon. I suggest getting there right at 9 to beat the rush.
Make sure you bring lots of water! I ran out really quick, and it can get super hot during the day. I think a hydration pack is a great investment if you plan to hike.
The driving along the Gorge is stunning, but don’t rush! I suggest setting aside a whole day for stops and views. You don’t wanna miss the best photo spots that pop up around every corner.
Centre De Plongée Euro Plongee
Don’t skip the pre-dive briefings; they’re super helpful. I missed some important tips the first time, which made my second dive way smoother. Plus, the instructors really know their stuff!
Port de Marseille
If you want to enjoy a nice seafood meal, head to one of the restaurants tucked away in the side streets. I didn’t realize they were less touristy and way cheaper than those on the port itself!
Don’t forget to bring your camera! The sunsets over the marina are breathtaking. I think the best spot is right by the fort at the end of the port. Just chill there with a drink and enjoy!
Stade Velodrome
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can; it’s less crowded and you can enjoy the atmosphere of the stadium without the weekend rush.
Check out the fan zone before the match; it's lively and a great place for selfies and meeting locals or other fans.
if you're planning to buy merchandise, wait until after the game; they often have better deals or discounts then!
Cote Plongee
Check the weather a day before your dive. I had to reschedule because of rough seas so staying updated really helps.
If you can, try to dive with a buddy who has some experience. It made my dives way more enjoyable and safer!
Paul Ricard
I've found that checking the schedule ahead of time is key. There are some amazing events, but if you don’t plan, you might miss out on the best races
I suggest wearing comfy shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking around the paddock and grandstands. I wore flip-flops and regretted it all day!
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food options on-site can be super pricey, and honestly, not that great. Save your cash for souvenirs instead!
Paul Ricard Circuit
Luberon Mountain Trails
Bring plenty of water and some snacks. I was so focused on the view that I forgot to hydrate – ended up feeling a bit woozy. A portable snack stash will keep your energy up!
I suggest visiting in the early morning, around 7 AM. Trust me, the sunrise views are breathtaking and the trails are less crowded then – I wish I had gotten up earlier!
