We had a wonderful stay in the lovely seaside town of Carro. The pretty harbour had a lot of small boats. The local restaurants were great although they did close early and most were closed on Sundays and Mondays. The local beach was great and only a few minutes walk away while a larger sandy beach was about a 20 minute walk away. The water was so good! There was also a long coastal walk by the sea. The train station was about a 20 minute walk away (or a couple of bus stops). The bus cost €1 and went to the lovely coastal town of Martigues. From the station you could get to Marseille, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and others. The apartment was well equipped. We loved having breakfast on the balcony. Patricia and Michel were great hosts and generously left us some lovely local produce on our arrival. They left our home and car squeaky clean. Thank you both.

Carro is a quaint seaside town with a coffee/wine bar, bakery, small grocery store, bike shop, twice-weekly market days, daily fish market, and lots of restaurants. And, of course, a few sandy beaches and lots of rocky access to the sea. We enjoyed the 1.4 km beach walk daily and the unpaved walk to the lighthouse, as well as the sailboarders on windy days. Martigues has a Sunday market (you can take the bus from Carro for 1EU). And the SNCF Côte d'Azur train travels hourly to Marseille for 10EU RT for two people. Patricia and Michel arranged for us to be met at the beginning and end of our two-week stay (lovely Ingrid and Emilie) and were in frequent communication both before and after our trip through email and Whats App. The home instructions and guidebooks were extremely informative. The home had everything we needed (beach chairs would have been most welcome). We highly recommend Patricia and Michel and their home in lovely Carro.

Patricia and Michel were very friendly, helpful and responsive with communication. Lovely beach resort condo that is quiet and off the beaten track. Spotlessly clean upon our arrival. The deck was a wonderful place to have breakfast in the morning. Easy access and good parking. Carro is an authentic town on the French Riviera with a fisherman’s market and wonderful walking paths along the coast. There is a fabulous sandy beach within 10 minutes of walking from the condo. Great places to eat and reasonably priced. We especially liked the Thai restaurant!

Carro merita sicuramente una visita, le passeggiate lungo la costa, le belle spiagge sabbiose e il mare turchese, il mercato del pesce, il cilima mite, Marsiglia da raggiungere con il trenino... Ci siamo riposati e rilassati cercando di usare il meno possibile l'auto dopo il nostro lungo viaggio. L'appartamento è comodo e funzionale, forse per gli scambi si potrebbe attrezzare un po' di più che per un affitto... Uno scambio che rifaremmo!

Du petit village de pécheur qu'est CARRO a la ville cosmopolite qu'est Marseille, nous avons eu le choix et le temps de tout apprécier, au gré de cette belle cote bleu ! Un grand merci a Michel et Patricia.
