6 Best Day Trips from Paris

"Opened in 1917, Le Petit Nice Passedat is a star-studded destination—five for the hotel, and three Michelin stars for the restaurant. Perched on the edge of the Mediterranean, the hotel has 17 rooms, suites, and villas with elegant, understated interiors that emphasize the overstated sea views. The new wellness area is outfitted with a hammam, sauna, and Japanese bath. Chef Gérald Passedat has led Le Petit Nice’s famed restaurant since 1985. His approach focuses on Marseille’s maritime heritage, with a menu featuring over 65 varieties of local catches throughout the year, respecting the guidelines for protecting resources. The most iconic dish is Chef Passedat’s Bouille-Abaisse, an elevated take on the traditional Marseille fish stew." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
