Discover the Unique Experience at Hotel C2 in Marseille 6th

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.

✨ In a nutshell: this itinerary combines historical heritage (Pharo, Borély, Pastré), spectacular coastal landscapes (Corniche, Prado, Goudes), and the authentic soul of Marseille in its fishing villages.

Discover the must-see monuments and districts of the Cité Phocéenne. From the Old Port to Notre-Dame de la Garde, via the Panier and Mucem, follow our itinerary on foot and/or by public transport! You can also take the tourist train to the end of the route.

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 urban walk starts on the Canebière: it will lead you to the Palais Longchamp and its monumental fountain. The route follows the Cours Saint Louis, the "Petit Cours" which takes its name from Louis d'Anjou. This is where the first santon fair was held in 1803. Then we enter the Noailles district. In a colorful effervescence, dive into the Mediterranean cultures and discover the different stalls. Once you have crossed the boulevard Garibaldi, you reach the rue du Théâtre Français. Italian style theater and baptized for a time "French theater" to mark its vocation dedicated to the French literature. Then you reach the upper part of the Canebière again. There we find a self-service book terminal in the shape of a giraffe to pay homage to the famous Zarafa, evoked in the urban stroll that leads to the Prefecture and the Monument aux Mobiles which celebrates the soldiers of the Garde Mobile of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. At the very end of the Canebière, you find yourself facing the Saint-Vincent de Paul church, nicknamed "les Réformés" because it is located on the site of the chapel of the Augustins Réformés. Its 2 spires rise 70 meters above the Canebière. As you walk up the majestic avenue of plane trees on boulevard Longchamp, you will see on your right the mansion that houses the Grobet-Labadie museum.

The course (square) is in the heart of the district of the former "Arcenaulx des Galères", 17th century, rehabilitated since 1980. Since then, the area has been reserved for pedestrians and many restaurants, cafés, art galleries and shops have set up there to the delight of the people of Marseille and tourists who enjoy the Italian charm of the site, which regularly hosts open-air events.

On the site of the Arsenal des Galères installed by Louis XIV, there is now a large Italian-style pedestrian square designed and lit by the architect Charlie Bové, inaugurated in 1988. It is lined with restaurants, various stores and piano bars.

Place Lulli is named after the composer and musician of the court of Louis XIV, who is sometimes played at the opera. The square is home to trendy stores, decoration, cafes and restaurants.

It is built on a basilica plan in the Romanesque-Byzantine style. It was inaugurated in 1864. Worth seeing: the furnishings, the silver and bronze lighting fixtures, the women's tribunes and the organ case. Visits by appointment.

The former Arcenaulx of Marseille occupied a space between the rue Breteuil, the quai des Belges, the quai de Rive-Neuve and the rue Fort Notre-Dame. The Thiars place. The history of the Arcenaulx began under Charles VIII at the end of the 15th century and ended in the middle of the 18th century when the last galley slaves were distributed among the chiourmes of Brest, La Rochelle and Toulon. About 10,000 galley slaves lived there in deplorable conditions, chained day and night, freezing to death in winter (especially in 1710 when the port froze!), suffocating from the heat in summer... Nevertheless, some of them kept stores on the port or worked in the soap factories of the rue Sainte and the Place aux Huiles, thus ensuring a meager income. The "chiourme" was created by Charles IX in 1564. It was originally made up of Turks, "negroes" and common law prisoners, then in the 17th century Protestants were added. The Arsenal des Galères was a city within a city where galley slaves, non-commissioned officers and officers lived together in an extreme stench, sometimes masked by the great celebrations given by these gentlemen of the officers' corps. In 1494, Charles VIII left for the Italian wars and had six galleys armed in Marseille, then in 1512 Louis XII had six new terceneaux (shipbuilding and repair sheds) built. Over the centuries their number increased. But it was not until 1660, when Louis XIV came to Marseille, that a Grand Arsenal des Galères was built and a new urban plan was drawn up for Marseille. Less than six years later, Nicolas Arnoul, Colbert's trusted advisor, undertook the modernization of the arsenal, which was to become one of the elements of the city's remodeling. The city grew from 65 to 195 hectares and was equipped with a new wall. The 1666 expansion was the most important urban planning operation carried out in Provence in modern times, and for the first time in its history, the port was at the heart of the city. Indeed, the Greek city was founded on the north side of the harbor and it was only in the 17th century that residential areas were built on the south side of the harbor. The Grand Arsenal now extends as far as rue Paradis and the bottom of the Canebière where the administration buildings are arranged around the Pavillon de l'Horloge. Other existing buildings, such as the convict hospital, are reused and included in the perimeter of the new arsenal. The fish auction In 1909, a fish auction was opened and remained in operation until 1975, when the fish market was transferred to the north of the city to the industrial port of Saumaty. The building was then completely redesigned from the inside, but its façade retained its original layout. The Théâtre National de Marseille was inaugurated in 1981 by the Mayor of Marseille, Gaston Defferre. Directed for more than ten years by Marcel Maréchal, "la Criée" has a very good program each season. Vincent Scotto was born on April 21, 1874 at number 32 of the Rive Neuve quay. Almost opposite the ferry landing is the Bar de La Marine, which owes its fame to Marcel Pagnol. It remains the main setting for the trilogy "Marius, Fanny, César", whose action takes place on the Old Port in 1930s Marseille. *** Translated with www.deepl.com/translator (free version) ***
