Marseille progressed to the Coupe de France semi-finals, ending Granville's fairy tale run with a 1-0 victory on Thursday.
A 50th-minute goal from Michy Batshuayi was all the mid-table Ligue 1 outfit needed at the Stade Michel d'Ornano in Caen, booking a meeting with Sochaux in the last four.
Granville, a fifth-tier side, were punished for a lapse early in the second half to concede the game's only goal.
A Benjamin Mendy cross from the left was put away from close range by Batshuayi, who scored for the third consecutive game in all competitions.
