Cosquer Cave Entry Ticket + City Tour With Audio Guide

Cosquer Cave exploration

The tour is set in Cosquer Mediterranean, a three-story building with a partial replica of the Cosquer cave and its most striking parietal artworks. Begin your tour on the ground floor, above the ‘sea’, walking over a floating walkway to a replica of Henri Cosquer’s diving club, the diver who first discovered the caves. Step into an elevator to head down to the entrance of the underwater caves, where you board a six-seater exploratory vehicle that takes you on a 35-minute audio-guide tour of the 220m cave route. The illusion of the cave is maintained throughout the journey–the silence, the temperature, the lighting, the presence of water, and the quality of the overall rendering.

End your tour at the Mediterranean Gallery on the third floor, featuring life-sized models of animals like cave lions and bison, while also exploring Homo sapiens' relationship with them.

City of Marseille

After your 2-hour cave visit, explore Marseille, France's oldest city. Your ticket includes a multilingual audio guide on a sightseeing app, for a self-paced exploration. Visit and snap memorable photos of the city’s iconic landmarks such as the Basilica of Notre-Dame de La Garde, Le Panier, and the Vieux Port.
