Guests joining Grand Prix Tours at the French Grand Prix should be ready for a worldly, relaxing and most of all exciting motorsports vacation. The city of Marseille, where our chosen accommodations are located, is awash with scenic beauty and historical sites. Roughly a 13 hour flight from Los Angeles and a 10 hour flight from New York guests will be sitting port-side sipping pastis in no time.
The circuit is located in Le Castellet just a short transfer from Marseille. The Circuit Paul Ricard was originally built in 1969 by Paul Ricard, a French industrialist most famous for the pastis brand that bears his name. A side from a few small changes to the pit lane entrance, in recent years, the circuit remains original to its initial configuration. The track has a total length of 3.62 miles or 5.84 kilometers and a total of 15 corners; 6 to the left and 9 to the right. The track is unique in that it was constructed on a plateau and has an elevation change of just 30 meters throughout the lap. Perhaps the most notable feature of the circuit is its elongated layout and long straights. The circuit is certainly conducive to passing as we saw over 50 passes completed in the inaugural French Grand Prix.
Grand Prix Tours has arranged the ideal French Grand Prix weekend. Our package includes 3-night accommodations in the city of Marseille, we will take care of ordering and confirming your choice of race tickets, and track transfers to and from the track on Saturday and Sunday. Guests will also receive our client package comprised of our full itinerary for the weekend including F1 driver & team spotters guide, restaurant recommendations and our latest Grand Prix Tours t-shirt. Guests will be amazed by this cultural and motorsport experience.
The InterContinental Hotel Dieu, opened in April 2013 in a grand building that dates to the 12th century. Christened the Hôtel Dieu by Napoleon III in 1866, it served as a hospital for some 800 years. The perfectly preserved facade, marble floors and wrought iron banisters transport visitors to a more aristocratic time, while the sleek interior is all modern design touches.
Perched on a hill overlooking the marina, the InterContinental offers majestic views of the water, the boats and the mountains of Provence; if you only lingered on the terraces here, you'd consider it time well spent. It's a three-minute walk to the shoreline and the Vieux Port area in the Sixth Arrondissement, with its lively restaurants and shops, are about a 15-minute stroll away.
This 5 star hotel has a peaceful indoor pool, complete with waterfall and sunburst lighting, an airy and well-appointed gym, with free weights and machines, and a Clarins spa. Perhaps best of all are the interior courtyards and the gracious wraparound terrace, where a breakfast coffee or a sunset cocktail can make you feel like 19th-century royalty, or dine at the hotels Michelin-starred restaurant, the Alcyone.
Architecture is the star at the InterContinental Hotel Dieu, where every corner reveals a magnificent curved archway, a graceful shadow or a stately plaza. Paired with the views and the opulent setting, it feels worth the price.
Deluxe rooms are 300 Sq Ft overlooking the French gardens or Panier area.

Guests joining Grand Prix Tours at the French Grand Prix will have a choice of accommodations in the portside city of Marseille, France. Marseille is the second largest city in France and the port of Marseille is the main commercial port for the French Republic. Marseille is located in the South of France, roughly an 8 hour drive or a 4 hour train ride from Paris.
While there is no doubt that the Port of Marseille and the city itself has a certain grit the area has many amazing museums, historic places and landmarks that are simply beautiful. Located near our hotel accommodations is the Musée d’Histoire de Marseille, Marseilles’ history museum. The city has a history that spans more than 25 centuries and because of their lengthy history the museum is France’s largest history museum. The MuCEM is another noteworthy museum in the area.
Also near our chosen hotel accommodations is La Corniche, a long balcony that runs along the Mediterranean sea. For a few miles this walkway stretches down the coast passing beaches and quirky little neighborhoods along the way.
Just a short car ride, or a cruise by boat, south of the city guests will find the Calanques National Park. A rugged stretch of coastline known for its many creeks and dramatic limestone cliffs.
These are just a few of the many attractions and experiences that makeup Marseille, that said; we all know why we are here, for the race. If you have questions about this trip please do not hesitate to give us a call. Guests of Grand Prix Tours can expect two things when joining us for the French Grand Prix the wonderful weather this time of year and a travel experience you will never forget.
