Marseille en 3 mots
Dazzling, friendly but modest
-
Mon domaine de prédilection
Heritage. Just raise your eyes as you stroll through any district of Marseille to discover the beautiful facades and the rich ornamental sculpture that tells the history, particularly the maritime and commercial history of the city.
-
Mon quartier coup de cœur
Vauban and Notre-Dame de la Garde. For its village side, its small houses with flowery gardens, its lanes which invite you to stroll under the benevolent gaze of the “Bonne Mère”.
-
Mon secret touristique (chut que pour les amis)
An aperitif on the rocks at the water’s edge, at sunset with white wine/sea urchins for the winter version and rosé/pizza for the summer version.
-
Marseille en 3 mots
Olfactive (the sea, pastis, spices, suntan oil), generous (in its kitchen, in its opening) and warm!
-
Mon domaine de prédilection
Decoration, design and Marseille has nothing to be ashamed of : Honoré déco, l’Ane Bleu, Maison Moutte, La Sélection de Sophie Ferjani, TheLine, etc… we have plenty to do !
-
Mon quartier coup de cœur
Longchamp (an old bourgeois district which has become trendy with small addresses and the proximity of the Longchamp park which is great for children, for its museums and for its Jazz festival every year in July).
-
Mon secret touristique (chut que pour les amis)
The Cours Julien organic market on Wednesday morning, and stroll through the streets of the neighbourhood covered with tags, looking for a nice fashion or decoration item at the local craftsmen and antique dealers.
-
Marseille en 3 mots
Solar, bubbling, authentic
-
Mon domaine de prédilection
Social networks, up to date in real time with all the news, to go out, have a bite to eat, find good music!
-
Mon quartier coup de cœur
Saint-Victor. Historical district with its Abbey so famous in Marseille since it is there that the famous orange blossom shuttles are blessed every year at Candlemas, but also trendy district with great addresses for a drink and a meal.
-
Mon secret touristique (chut que pour les amis)
L’Anse de la Fausse Monnaie and Malmousque cove for a nice view and a more confidential swimming spot.
-
Marseille en 3 mots
Luminous, contrasted, incomparable
-
Mon domaine de prédilection
Beach sports. In Marseille, swimming in palm trees is practised all year round in translucent water, and why not in the heart of the Calanques National Natural Park.
-
Mon quartier coup de cœur
La Treille, les Camoins. This is the countryside just a stone’s throw from the town. The song of the cicadas, the smells of pine trees and lavender against a backdrop of garrigue and landscapes dear to Marcel Pagnol.
-
Mon secret touristique (chut que pour les amis)
Aperitif at sunset on the rocks of the Calanque des Cambrettes and hike at sunrise in the Calanque de Port Pin.
-
Marseille en 3 mots
Sunny, exuberant, engaging
-
Mon domaine de prédilection
The architectural heritage of yesterday and today as well as museums by visiting the 17 or so museums in Marseille (from Antiquity to the present day).
-
Mon quartier coup de cœur
L’Estaque, for its friendly village atmosphere, its quiet little port (where you can taste the panisses as an aperitif), its narrow streets, its church, its dazzling views of the harbour, dear to the painters Cézanne, Braque, Monticelli… who all succumbed to the charms of the southern light.
-
Mon secret touristique (chut que pour les amis)
A hike in the Calanques National Park accessible to all (young and old), a loop to be done quietly during the day: departure from the Pastré countryside, a cave, a pass later, is the reward with a picnic on the Marseilleveyre beach and a refreshing swim.
