    Solar, bubbling, authentic

  • My favourite area

    Social networks, up to date in real time with all the news, to go out, have a bite to eat, find good music!

On monday, it's seaside view

La Cabane des Amis welcomes you every evenings, but what better way to start the week than with your feet up in the sand, having a drink and watching the sun go down? There’s music, sun loungers and a view on the sea – it’s hard to beat that for a Monday. And if you’re feeling peckish, sandwiches, pizzas or poke-bowl will fill you up!
For another seaside spot, head for the Corniche Kennedy, where our friends from Borderline have set up their annual l’Ilot de la Corniche ! From 6pm to 10pm.

On Tuesday, it's live music in the Vallon des Auffes

On Tuesday evenings, you can enjoy an aperitif concert live from the Vallon des Auffes, at the Viaghji di Fonfon. At a table or right on the harbour, you can enjoy the view, some great tapas and sing the night away until 10pm.

On Wednesday, it's getting some fresh air at Talus or twerking at J4

Every wednesday in august le Talus offers you a unique programme of events to help you to relax in this exceptionnal venue in the 12th arrondissement. Whether you’re chilling out on the rooftop or enjoying the greenery in the garden, for a blind test or a concert, the Jardins Sonores at Talus is not to be missed from 5.30pm to 10pm.

Le Twerkistan event is back on wednesdays in august ! Come and join us on the J4 esplanade for free opened-air parties with wild DJ sets, great atmosphere and dancing from 6pm to 11pm.

On Thursday, it's electro, 'couvent' and cocktails!

Meet at Plage des Sablines (next to Escale Borély) with Monday Niasquew to party with Marseille’s dj collectives! You’ll have a great time listening to electronic music until 2am, and you can also enjoy a swim and watch the sunset. Another great way to end the week is with cocktails from La Bisette, the famous bar on Cours Julien, which takes place at Halles de la Major every Thursday from 6.30pm to 2.30am until the end of September! We’re moving to the 3rd arrondissement for dj sets from Thursday to Friday at the Couvent ! The programme includes a refreshment bar, a dance hall and a different DJ every week from 6pm to 11pm.

On friday, it's all about getting ready for the weekend!

This is the beginning of the weekend and suggestions are not missing to enjoy a great evening. Let’s go to Chapiteau la Belle-de-Mai to chill and set the dancefloor alight, a seaside aperitif at Cabanon de Paulette, a ‘soirée Scandal’ at the R2 Rooftop, there is something for  everyone in Marseille.

On saturday, it's all about enjoying rooftop parties

The rooftop terrace of the Friche la Belle de Mai is the place to start with their On Air evenings, where for €5 you can enjoy a great view over Marseille, several bars and food-trucks, and different DJ sets every week. It’s a chill vibe, where everyone is welcome, from 7pm to 11pm.

On sunday, it's chez Sarment or Red Lion

To give a good end to the week, we invite you two sundays a month to celebrate at Sarment, an unmissable and trendy restaurant near the Préfecture. Dj sets, food to die for, natural and Homade cocktails and wine , Over there you can  forget about going back to work on monday!

For fans of the Pointe Rouge and a relaxing end-of-day atmosphere, le Red Lion remains the unmissable spot. A drink, a sunset, petanque and, life is beautiful!
