Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) at Marignane is the main gateway to the city and the wider Provence–Côte d'Azur region, handling around ten million passengers a year across its two terminals, including the low-cost Terminal 2. Travellers routinely land in the morning or face a late-evening departure with hours to fill and no hotel room in which to leave bags, while others arrive by the airport shuttle bus from Saint-Charles ahead of check-in. There are no long-stay public lockers inside the terminals, and airline desks will not hold luggage before check-in opens. App-booked storage partners near the terminals and along the shuttle route into central Marseille let you drop suitcases and spend a layover exploring the Vieux-Port or a day trip to Aix-en-Provence, rather than camping beside the departures board with your bags in tow.
