The village of the Goudes

Les Goudes in Provençal LEI GOUDO is a district at the gates of the Calanques of Marseille. You will find a small fishing and sailing port. This district with the appearance of a small village has always been nicknamed “the other side of the world” by the inhabitants of Marseille.

Indeed, being located at the entrance of the Calanques massif, the road continues to the Callelongue Calanque. The picturesque setting of the village of Les Goudes attracts many tourists and hikers.

Walking around this small port, one can admire small huts and fishermen’s boats, which makes this place particularly attractive and emblematic! It has been preserved and has kept its authenticity. You can also admire the Marseilles ‘barquettes’ (small typical boats) along the port which are part of its charm of yesteryear…
