Parc du 26e Centenaire - Jean-Claude Gaudin

A green oasis in the heart of Marseille, the Parc du 26e centenaire is a powerful symbol of the city's entry into the 21st century. Evoking the 26 centuries of Marseille's history, these 10 hectares of nature have anchored the city in its roots. An important act that repaired the urban fabric by rehabilitating an abandoned former industrial site. The garden's organization into 4 themes is a reference to its cultural mix, the intermingling of time, populations and plants that have acclimatized.
Paths guide visitors through 4 gardens of Provençal, Oriental, African and Asian inspiration. A belvedere, lake and fountains punctuate the landscape, while a boules pitch and play areas enliven the area. A space for pleasure and leisure dedicated to all.
