Pastré Park

In some squares, the playgrounds can still be used but are under the responsibility of parents who must ensure that health regulations are respected, including physical distance.



Between the Pointe Rouge and the Grotte Rolland, the Pastré park stretches over 112 hectares, up to the hills of Marseilleveyre. In 1974, the Countess Pastré ceded most of her property to the city. Since then, the site has become a huge public park and is one of the most beautiful jewels in the city's heritage. Its central alley runs for more than 900 meters.
Two ponds, a canal, playgrounds, and hiking trails seduce its many users. The 19th century castle houses the bastides and outbuildings from the same period, including the Villa Provençale (a villa for the guests of the city of Marseille), which complete the park.

The upper part of the park retains its wild character and opens onto the hills of Marseilleveyre and the discovery of the calanques. The entire wooded area of the park is part of the classified site of the calanques and constitutes a gateway for hiking enthusiasts. In the lower part, a water garden has been created, with three distinct zones: the ponds and meadows, the Provencal mall, which provides a shady and calm walk, and an open-air amphitheater. The Société des Eaux de Marseille has created a monumental fountain symbolizing the Alps where the waters of the Durance are born, a real starting point for the water circuit, designed by the architect Marc Dossetti.

The upper part of the park is concerned by the summer regulation.
