Visiting Cosquer Cave is something that I will never forget! Audio guides add life to ancient cave paintings, and there is amazing information about early human life. Walking along the floating walkway above the sea is like shifting back in time. It definitely should be on the list of those interested in history and archaeology.

I was really impressed by the tour of Cosquer Cave. It was an adventure to take a ride in a recreated cave in an exploratory vehicle

Audio guides were available in several languages. My favourite place was the Mediterranean Gallery, where the elegant display of the context of the prehistoric period is prepared with such respect that no damage takes place to any carvings or paintings

If you ever visit Marseille, do not miss the Cosquer Cave. It's not only a tour-it's a journey in time. The floating walkway and the audio narration made it really informative as well as entertaining. We could even use the Vox City sightseeing app on our own after the tour in Marseille.
