The #GourdeFriendly project

Where to fill my canteen?

Plastic water bottles are one of the most environmentally damaging types of packaging waste. Every year in France 15 billions of plastic bottles are sold and 10 000 tonnes leak in the Mediterranean sea. The tourist office of Marseille and the City of Marseille have team up to launch the project #GourdeFriendly, with Hooli as a sponsor.

The scheme was set up by the Marseille Tourist, Leisure and Convention Office, supported by the City of Marseille, in 2023. To date, nearly 70 participating establishments (restaurants, bars and shops) welcome you to fill your water bottle for free anywhere in the city.

Finding them couldn’t be easier! All the addresses of the city’s fountains and #GourdeFriendly ambassadors are listed on HOALI’s interactive map.

But if you want to find these points easily, come and pick up a sticker to put on your water bottle at the Marseille Tourist, Leisure and Convention Office.
