But where’s the Mr? I jest, but Marseilles Provence Aeroport has the coolest code, MRS! Although she makes less than her male colleagues. {rimshot} I’m here all night, y’all.
This regional airport is actually the fifth busiest in France, with destinations from all over Europe and Northern Africa. Located about 17 miles from Marseilles in the bucolic region of Provence, this is probably the most convenient airport for those who summer in the south of France. As one does.
There is a direct shuttle from the train station to the airport for those coming in from the city. There’s also bus, car and taxi transport.
There are 2 terminals, with around 45-50 gates total. It is a small regional airport, but has all the traveler comforts you need.
