‘Droit au But’ – the OM motto means ‘Right to the Goal’ and they know a thing or two about finding the back of the net.

Regularly averaging the highest attendance in Ligue 1, Olympique Marseille’s fanbase isn’t one to be underestimated. Get ready to JUMP to the Van Halen classic in the Velodrome that kicks off each game and prepare to witness the magic of Les Minots.

With nine Ligue 1 titles to their name and still the only club in France to have ever been crowned European Champions, this is the very best of French football.

From Le Classique’s against fierce rivals PSG to Champions League fixtures under the lights – Marseille are on their way to reigniting the glory days, and a match in the Mediterranean is most definitely one for your bucket list.

Amazing from start to finish!

After finding this ‘once in a lifetime’ experience for my husband’s birthday it was a no brainer! From the minute we booked, the team acknowledged and knew who we were, being on hand with any questions. Upon arriving in Marseille, the team welcomed us at the hotel and were extremely accommodating with our later than planned arrival! And from that moment onwards, they were approachable, friendly, helpful, fun and extremely clear in organising a group of 50+!

I wasn’t sure how we would find an itinerary based trip, usually deciding what we do each day when away, but honestly, we would do it again in a heartbeat. The planned activities were all 10/10, unforgettable experiences – and the amount of ‘free time’ you get inbetween to do your own thing and explore the area balances it all out.

The trip was surreal, an experience you wouldn’t ever dream possible (especially for my Husband, meeting and spending two days with his all time football hero!!).

Don’t even hesitate when considering booking, the memories you make and the people you meet are worth every penny!

Thank you again to Dharma and LookingFC for making my husband one happy man 😂🙌🏻 and for giving us the trip of a lifetime!
