Workshops and local crafts

  • Marseille soap workshop at the La Licorne soap factory: demonstration and personalisation, “about 30 minutes for 20 people”.
  • Cold-process soap making with the Viser la Lune workshop.
  • Cooking class: see cooking class team building.

Nature and volunteering

  • Hiking in the Calanques (Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton, En-Vau), listed by the tourist office among group activities. Access to the hills is restricted in summer: check before scheduling.
  • Litter picking with the charity 1 Déchet Par Jour: from 10 participants, the charity provides the equipment and handles the permit and waste removal. It also runs the Climate Fresk (Fresque du climat) workshop.

Our advice

  • Schedule activities at sea in spring or September: calmer sea, fewer people.
  • Always have a plan B in case of mistral (the strong north wind).
  • The Marseille tourist office has a groups department that can organise tailor-made activities.
  • Combine with a corporate retreat in Marseille: Saint-Charles station in the city centre, airport 27 km away.
