Discover Marseille from Novotel Marseille Centre Prado Vélodrome

This tour, which can be done on foot or by bike, takes in some of Marseille's neighborhoods, which are home to a number of sites well worth a visit. The route is particularly pleasant in hot weather, as it is shaded. The starting point is a bridge at the beginning of impasse René Magnac (1). You'll walk alongside the sports complex named after the former president of the ASPTT club, who did a great deal for its development. You enter the Avenue de Mazargues and continue along a greener stretch of road, until you reach the back of the building housing the Ballet National de Marseille (2) and the Parc Henri Fabre (3). Continue along the original Huveaune riverbed to reach the main entrance to Parc Borély (4). Admire the view of the château (5). Pass through the gates and continue left to reach the rose garden. Pass under the imposing, majestic plane tree to reach the island of the former "Pavillon du Lac" establishment. Leave the island and head for the entrance to the botanical garden (6). If you've taken the necessary steps to reserve your entrance (it's free, but must be reserved in advance), you'll be in for a complete change of scenery. After this detour, walk past the Bird Man fountain to reach the children's play area. A gate leads from Parc Borély to Avenue Clot-Bey. Cross the avenue and continue along the narrow traverse Paul, which zigzags between properties. Fence walls protect some beautiful homes from view. You finally come to Rue Albert Dubout and, at the end, turn right down Avenue d'Haïfa. You'll come to the [mac ]musée d'art contemporain (7) and the Pouce de César (8). Via avenue de Hambourq, you'll reach the central Bonneveine park (9), where you'll also find some monumental works of contemporary art. Continue through the park to skirt the grounds of the Horticultural Society and Parc Bortoli (10). You've reached the end of the route. You now have several options: Continue the tour to discover the Mazargues district, take the 22/22S buses back to the rond-point-du-Prado, or take the 45 bus that brings you closer to the seaside, the Pointe-Rouge district and the Pastré countryside.

Perched on the foothills of the Colline de la Garde, the Vauban district oscillates between tradition and modernity. With its "village" feel, you'll find renowned gourmet shops and designer boutiques. The starting point for this urban hike is the path that leads down beside the large cross at the foot of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. This is where the funicular once started. Pedestrian signposts make it easy to follow the route, which is all downhill, taking in the discreet alleyways and little-known staircases that Marseille is famous for. At rue Edmond Rostand, you enter the Antiquaires district and reach Place Castellane.

After visiting Notre-Dame de la Garde, explore the Roucas Blanc. This district, a real maze of narrow streets, can only be visited on foot and offers magnificent views of the city. The Roucas Blanc hill was also a place of free expression for 19th-century Marseilles Rocailleurs: craftsmen, masons and ornamental designers, some of whom were quite singular. Their creations can be found in the dreamy gardens of the neighborhood's opulent homes. Via uphill crossings and sloping alleyways, you'll reach Corniche Kennedy and Plage du Prophète. Its fine sand and turquoise waters are the perfect reward after a fairly strenuous walk. This really is the most stunning urban stroll, so we invite you to look at your surroundings with curiosity and care. At the foot of Notre-Dame de la Garde, as you look out towards the sea, there's a staircase leading down that you have to take. This is the Montée du Commandant Valentin and the start of the itinerary (1). Go down to the first crossroads with a house, where you turn left, the start of the traverse du Génie. A blue mark indicates the way. Then turn left on a path that slaloms between the agaves, the Chemin du Bois Sacré (2), which joins the street of the same name, which continues on the Chemin du Roucas Blanc down to the Place du Terrail (3). Turn right onto Avenue des Roches (4 and 5) to number 77b. Here, on your left, a staircase leads to rue Colline Chanot, which you must take up to the junction with traverse de Roux, on your left. At the next intersection, turn right into rue Emile Duployé to number 45. On your left, you'll find a steep, narrow staircase to climb: montée des Croquants (6), which leads to chemin du Souvenir. Catch your breath and follow it to the right (7). The path ends in front of the gate of the Buenos-Ayres villa, and you descend a staircase to the right which joins the Nicolas traverse. Take a few steps to the right to admire a tower (a dovecote?) and, above all, the Villa Maraveyre, whose slate roof contrasts with the tiles more typical of our region. Continue along the Nicolas traverse to the Napoule staircase on the left. Admire the rockwork (8) that replaces the classic white-edged blue street name signs (9) and (10). Descend the staircase until you can turn right up the montée de la Rotonde. Admire the view of the Mediterranean through the large rockwork portholes cut into the cement and complete your itinerary, which leads to the Corniche, opposite the Plage du Prophète (11). From the Corniche Kennedy, a bus line takes you to either the Rond-Point du Prado or the Vieux-Port.

This is an urban stroll to discover the assets of the Pointe-Rouge district. The promenade offers two simultaneous atmospheres: the hustle and bustle of the seaside with its marina, beach and shops, and the tranquility of the wooded areas of Parc Pastré. The walk starts at the "Tiboulen" bus stop, served by line 19. Walk along the seafront to reach a staircase leading to the Pointe-Rouge beach(1). Walk towards the seawall, then when you come to the ASPTT building, walk along it to the left. At the intersection, turn right down the street. In front of the YCPR yacht club, turn left into "Port de la Pointe-Rouge" (2). At the next intersection, turn left and follow the sign "accès plage et commerces". Climb the stairs in front of you to reach Avenue d'Odessa. Then turn right. You'll pass a fire brigade barracks and then the municipal open-air swimming pool. On the right are the remains of a Südwall bunker (3). A little further on, there's a promontory with a view of the deep blue sea, the Mont-Rose hill (in the distance on the left) and, above all, two bathing creeks with cabins. L'anse des Phocéens, home to the men's bath (right) and the ladies' bath (left). Continue across the street to Boulevard Delpin, which you'll have to walk up to the end. Opposite you is Place Engalière and the church of Sainte Eusébie(4). It bears a strong resemblance to the Cathedral de la Major, which gives the impression of being miniaturized. Go up the street called "place" Engalière to enter a public garden and follow the path to the left. Then turn right to walk under the pine trees and go straight up. You're in the heart of the Campagne and Parc Pastré (5). Follow the path along the fence of the equestrian center to the first pool. Go around the basin to the left and walk along the Canal de Marseille (6). The canal winds its way to the sumptuous Château Pastré (7). Walk back down the main alley to the intersection with the Canal de Marseille, which you follow to the right (8). When you reach the small house, turn left to go around a second small lake in a clockwise direction. Return to the canal and follow it to the left. When you reach a wider path, turn right to go up a little, then left to continue along a line almost parallel to the canal route. When you again reach a wide track, descend to the left to reach the top of the Parangon traverse (9). Pass the Emmaüs Pointe-Rouge Community (10) and, if it's open, come on in! Reach the traffic circle in front of Lycée Marseilleveyre (11), then continue left along Avenue du Corail. On your right, at the foot of the hill, you'll see a navigation bridge and the elements usually found on a large merchant ship. This is the flagship building of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Maritime (12). Finish your stroll by walking down the traverse Prat to the avenue de Montredon and a square lined with shops and restaurants (13).

This urban walk begins on the Quai des Belges under the shade of the Old Port. It takes you to the Olympic marina, now the Florence Arthaud nautical stadium. Leaving Norman Foster's shade on the Old Port (1), walk along the Quai de Rive-Neuve. Turn left into rue Fortia, cross Cours Estienne d'Orves, a large Italian-style square (2), then join rue Emile Pollak to Cours Pierre Puget, skirting the Palais de Justice (3). Turn right up Cours Pierre Puget and pause in front of the entrance to the Colline Puget garden (4). Follow the winding path through the park until you reach the Sépia restaurant. On the left, there's an exit over a small bridge and a staircase leading to rue des Lices. As its name suggests, this is an ancient rampart wall that marked the boundary of the city of Marseille in the 17th century. Cross the small square planted with magnolias and a palm tree to reach rue d'Endoume. Join the grand avenue de la Corse, where hackberry and plane trees provide shade until you reach the junction with the Place du 4 septembre, its hackberry trees and avenue Pasteur. Rue Girardin, which joins the end of Avenue de la Corse, leads to Plage des Catalans (5), dominated by the Lazaret tower. This beach is ideal for a refreshing swim. Its waters are also home to the Musée Subaquatique de Marseille (6), which can be explored by simply taking a few dips in the water with a mask and snorkel. Then, for almost 5 km, the route follows a structuring coastal axis that links districts such as the Vieux-Port, Les Catalans and Malmousque along the seafront. The route follows a single artery all the way to the Olympic Marina: the famous Corniche Kennedy (7), where you'll find, in order : - The Monument de l'Armée aux Morts de l'Armée d'Orient (8) - Vallon des Auffes (9) - Le Marégraphe (10) - Villa Valmer Park (11 and 12) - La Plage du Prophète (13) - Memorial des rapatriés aka, l'hélice de César (14) - The nautical stadium (ex Olympic marina) (15) And let's not forget the many "follies" - villas and bastides built in the mid-19th century that dominate the Corniche from the hills of the Bompard and Roucas Blanc districts. We've already mentioned Villa Valmer, where the architect drew inspiration from the Renaissance style. This style is also to be found at Château Berger (now Promicea), which bears some similarities (albeit on a much smaller scale) to the Château de Chambord, with its slate roof and bell towers. But there are others to be found behind the vegetation.

Noailles is made up of narrow streets where Marseillais come to stock up on spices, condiments, flavors and fragrances of all kinds! You'll find ingredients from all over the world. Exoticism guaranteed. The discovery of the Noailles district begins on the Cours Saint-Louis (2), Marseille's "ground zero". Since 1927, it's here, precisely at the corner of the Canebière and Cours Belsunce, that the numbering of buildings along all the city's streets has been determined. It's also kilometer zero for measuring the distance between Marseille and other French cities. Cours Saint-Louis extends into rue de Rome.

This easy walking tour combines beautiful facades along the streets with panoramic views and grand monuments. The route is suitable for strollers. * The itinerary begins on the Canebière, a mythical and historic artery, lined with majestic facades, which in its heyday was home to grand hotels and the most beautiful cafés in Marseille. At number 9 is the Palais de la Bourse, the chamber of commerce and industry. Rue Beauvau leads to the Opera House. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1919, hence its Art Deco facade. At the back of the building. * Turn right onto rue Francis Davso which leads to the Cours Estienne d'Orves. A real city within the city, the Arcenaulx were the former warehouses of the arsenal of the royal galleys at the time of Louis XIV.

It is the work of the Swiss architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. It is the work of the Swiss architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier. This impressive structure, 165 meters long, 24 meters wide and 56 meters high, was built between 1947 and 1951. Its layout is intended to suggest an urban steamboat anchored in a park. Powerful elements such as the unsurfaced exposed concrete, pilings and blank gable walls are combined with other more sophisticated aspects, such as the subtle arrangement of the multi-coloured loggias, or the superstructures on the terrace roof. This plastic richness, typical of the great architect, associates visual effects with technical organisation that was exceptional at the time. This laboratory for a new "housing system" comprises 337 flats, with 23 different layouts, providing comfortable living spaces for between one and 10 people. The most typical layout is designed for 4 people. It is a duplex on two levels. On one level it takes up the whole width of the building, with a large volume for the living room. A glass panel opens the double height living room onto a balcony. In addition to these technical refinements, numerous extensions of the living space were introduced, designed to induce a new way of living in collective housing: an indoor street with shops, and a hotel for resident's visitors and family members. On the top level is a nursery school and gymnasium. Finally, the terrace roof provides an area for relaxation with a children's paddling pool, play areas and a stage sheltered by a wind-break for open air shows. Ignoring the mockery summed up by the term "Maison du Fada” (The Crackpot's House), its inhabitants adore the Cité Radieuse. Several flats are still inhabited by the original residents of 1952, and many others have attracted a clientele of well-to-do teachers and architects. It even gained acceptance, since Le Corbusier built other “cités radieuses” in the 1950s based on the Marseille model.

The construction of the cathedral began in 1928 and was directed by A. Tahtadjyan who followed the model of the Mother Basilica of Saint Etchmiadzin. The church is not open every day but the gate remains open during the day and one can contact the secretariat from 9am to 12pm, and from 2pm to 5pm if one wishes to enter the church. Mass is said on Sundays at 10 am.

The church dates back to the 19th century and is adjacent to the Provence private school complex. The organ of the church was built in 1912 in the workshops of the famous Parisian organ builder, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll under the direction of his successor and first foreman Charles Mutin. It has 2 manuals, 1 pedalboard and 13 stops. It is therefore a musical instrument worthy of being part of the valuable organizational heritage of the city of Marseille. The church hosts concerts.

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. An urban green space par excellence, the Chanot garden is a haven of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Located in a busy area, at the entrance to the Parc des Expositions and a stone's throw from the Velodrome stadium, this space is entirely dedicated to children. The park is organized around a 4-meter glass pyramid that is in fact the skylight of the metro station located below. In addition to two children's playgrounds, the garden also features a merry-go-round, an electric car circuit, a bicycle rental point and a puppet theater. At the edge of the pond, a refreshment bar-restaurant allows for a soothing stop. Remodeled in 1995, this garden has been equipped with a road training track lined with 9 large umbrella pines and more than 1000 shrubs (oleanders, laurels, spireas, seringas, viburnum, escallonias...).

The first French stadium built in concrete, the Stade Vélodrome was built for the 1938 Football World Cup. The first stone was laid in 1935 and the official inauguration took place during the "OM-Torino" match in 1937. The Velodrome stadium originally hosted other sporting events, including ten finishes of the Tour de France cycling race and the world track cycling championships (hence its name), but also athletics, gymnastics, boxing and rugby competitions. In anticipation of the European Football Championship in 1984, the stadium underwent modifications, the Velodrome track disappearing little by little. At that time, it still covers a part of the South and North curves. Later on, it was totally destroyed for the construction of bleachers. In July 1992, the executive committee of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) entrusted France with the organization of the XVIth World Cup of Football. Since some of the matches were to take place in Marseille, it was decided to enlarge the stadium. A comfortable stadium for an exceptional atmosphere! The coverage of all the stands, the optimization of the comfort of the seats and the visibility, allow the new Velodrome to benefit from the 5***** label of the FIFA. The stadium now has the necessary qualities to host a UEFA Champions League final. With its 67,000 seats, the new Velodrome is the largest soccer stadium in France. The atmosphere will certainly be unique and incredible, the songs from the stands will resonate and thrill all the spectators. Unique VIP areas!
