Marseille Airport to Luminy campus: private driver at a fixed price

The Luminy campus, in the heart of the Calanques National Park, is home to the university, schools and research laboratories, and the trailhead to the Sugiton calanque. It sits at the far end of Marseille: from the airport, a private driver saves you two changes of transport.

The route

The driver reaches the south-east of the city via the A7 and the L2 ring road, then climbs through Mazargues and the Luminy road to the campus.

Arriving at the Luminy campus

Campus and laboratories

Tell us the building or institute: the campus is large and the driver drops you at the right entrance.

Trailhead to Sugiton and Morgiou

The Sugiton trail starts at the top of the campus. In summer, access to the massif may be restricted because of fire risk: check before you go.

Luminy: science among the calanques

Speakers, PhD students, thesis juries: every year we drive visitors from the airport to the Luminy laboratories. The driver tracks the flight, waits with a sign bearing the conference name and drops you at the building.

For a return at the end of the day, book ahead: taxis rarely come up to the campus on demand.

The campus hosts the university, CNRS laboratories and a business school: say which, as the entrances are far apart. The Calanques National Park begins at the edge of the campus; in summer, access to the massifs may close depending on fire risk, so check the access map before you go.
