A stroll through the Saint-Charles district

Follow this short stroll to discover the Saint Charles neighbourhood. When one mentions the name Saint-Charles, the SNCF station (1) is the first thing that comes to mind. Indeed, it stands out for several reasons. But it is also a neighborhood that has been transforming for several years and is becoming an university hub that we will introduce to you. We suggest arriving at Saint-Charles by metro and crossing the hall to reach Narvik Square (where the current drop-off point for motorists is located). On your left, first notice a stele (2). If you look further to the left, there is a large 15-story building in yellow/beige. In front of it stands the Golden Virgin (3). Cross the square to access the station's "masterpiece": its staircase and panoramic view of part of the city (4). Admire the sweeping view of Boulevard d'Athènes, the street art mural (5), and Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica. Walk along the other side of the station to reach stairs that lead to Boulevard Maurice Bourdet. Cross and descend Boulevard Charles Nédélec. At the third intersection, turn right onto Rue Joseph Biaggi where you'll find the Bourse de Travail (6). Continue straight and skirt around the EMD Management School. Go up Rue Frédéric Ozanam until you reach Avenue du Général Leclerc, which you descend on the left. On the other side of the boulevard, you'll see the Saint-Charles campus, the original university site. Notably, there is a large rectangular peristyle building (7). Then you pass by a stele dedicated to General Leclerc (8). A flight of stairs takes you to the foot of the Toyoko Inn hotel (9). Enter on the left into Porte d'Aix Park (10). Follow the central path to reach the forecourt of the Arc de Triomphe (11). As you can see, this area designed by Euroméditerranée has undergone a major transformation over the past decade. Until recently, the A7 motorway divided the neighborhood in two, as it ended at the triumphal arch. The area is transforming with the construction of new student residences, numerous schools, the consolidation of three universities (specifically, the faculties of architecture, landscape, and urban planning), the creation of an inter-university library, and most importantly, the addition of a major asset: the inauguration of a brand new park in the heart of the city. The Saint-Charles district now positions itself as an urban campus. For more information: www.euromediterranee.fr In line with the Arc de Triomphe, cross Boulevard Charles Nédelec. In front of you, Rue d'Aix descends, which changes names several times over more than 6 kilometers, to reach the Mazargues district. It is one of the main north-south axes of the city. Sharpen your gaze, you should at least see the column of the fountain in Place Castellane, located 2 kilometers away. Finish your visit at the forecourt of the Regional Hotel, Place Gilberto Bosques. The Regional Council consists of two buildings that were built between 1984 and 1991 in the Butte des Carmes district. The forecourt of the Regional Hotel houses 3 remarkable elements (12).

A stroll through the Réformés district

This itinerary lets you explore the Réformés district on foot, ideally located in Marseille's 1st arrondissement. Come and discover the many architectural curiosities hidden within. In the Réformés district, you'll have to look up to see the sights we're about to show you. The starting point for this walk is opposite the Eglise des Réformés (1), built in neo-Gothic style. Although its spires rise to a height of 75 meters, it holds no special place in the hearts of Marseillais. Walk up the Cours Franklin Roosevelt until you come to the Maison Castel (2). Retrace your steps and turn right into rue Saint-Savournin. Cross Boulevard de la Libération and continue straight ahead on Rue Bernex. When you reach boulevard Longchamp, walk a few meters down the boulevard to stop briefly at number 18. This is where you'll come across the first high relief dedicated to the Virgin Mary (3). Cross Boulevard Longchamp and take Boulevard National almost opposite to reach the building at number 9 (4). Continue along rue de la Rotonde, which runs along the north side of the Picon factory. Number 63 is the birthplace of Gaby Deslys, the internationally-renowned (in her day) singer and music-hall star who owned a sublime "folie" on the Corniche, the Villa Gaby (285 Corniche Kennedy). Admire the decorative elements of the entrance porch at number 16, headquarters of the "Les Excursionnistes de Marseille" association (5). A few more steps and you'll arrive at Place Alexandre Labadie (6). Turn right into Rue des Héros and follow it all the way up. At the far right, you'll see a large statue of a golden Virgin (7). Staying on the sidewalk on the Virgin's side, walk down Boulevard de la Liberté, looking up to admire the richly-decorated façade with its expressive faces and cat's mouths. The entrance, at number 46, is also adorned with two atlatls. However, we can't tell you the name of the architect. It's not known. At 23 rue de la Grande Armée, you'll discover a Greek Orthodox church (8). Then you reach Square Stalingrad, where you'll find a beautiful Art Nouveau fountain, the Danaïdes fountain (9). This square is particularly pleasant, as it is well shaded. Go downhill a little further and take the allée Gambetta. Three points of interest stand side by side: The Monument des Mobiles (10), the Byzantine building (11) and the Zarafa giraffe (12). The stroll ends on the upper part of the Canebière, renowned for its cultural and leisure establishments: the Artplexe cinema (13), with its rooftop café-restaurant, the Théâtre de l'Odéon (14) and the Théâtre du Gymnase (15).

Walk in the footsteps of La Joliette's maritime history

A walk that takes you back to the splendid period of the trading port and the heyday of shipping and travel. The opening up of maritime routes dates back to the 17th century, under the impetus of Colbert, Louis XIV's powerful minister. By the 19th century, commercial traffic was on the rise. From the 1840s onwards, this led to the creation of the port of La Joliette. Marseille forged links with the biggest ports in Europe and the world: Barcelona, Algiers, Naples, Rome, Valletta, Istanbul... The construction of the Suez Canal in 1859 also facilitated travel on the route to India. Thanks to this 6-stop tour, immerse yourself in the sumptuous period of the commercial port and the heyday of sea travel: The starting point is in front of the Regards de Provence museum, which houses the former maritime sanitary station (1) built by Fernand Pouillon. All passengers arriving by sea had to pass through a "disinfection" stage, via the oven room, directly accessible from the museum entrance. Then it's on to the Major vaults (2), which once housed warehouses. These vaults came into being with the construction of the new Major, the only cathedral built in France in the 19th century. The foundation stone was laid in September 1852, at a time when Marseille was experiencing economic, social and demographic growth, and was adorned with a number of important buildings: Palais de la Bourse (1834), Notre Dame de la Garde (1853), Docks de la Joliette (1858), Préfecture (1860), rue de la République (1860), Palais Longchamp (1862). At the fountain and double-flight staircase by Auguste Ottin, cross the street to the "bleu de Chine" statue by artist Bruno Catalano (3). Through this traveler, the artist pays homage to all the workers and dockers of the port of Marseille, as well as to all those who have restarted their lives on these quays. Continue straight ahead along the renovated facades of the Quai de la Joliette. You have to imagine that here, in the 19th century, there was the sea. All this space was reclaimed from the water thanks to embankments. Marseille had only one major port: the Vieux-Port. At the corner of Quai de la Joliette and Boulevard des Dames stands the "Castel Héritage" building (4). Built in the early 20th century by architect Gaston Castel in the art nouveau style, the building housed the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT) agency. The Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, a prestigious French shipping company founded in 1851 and independent until 1977, was founded by a man from Marseilles. It then merged with Compagnie Générale Transatlantique to form Compagnie Générale Maritime. In 1999, following the privatization of CMA, the group became CMA CGM. Today, the building houses luxury accommodation, offices and shops. The façade along Boulevard des Dames, at the corner of the quay, is original. Return to Place de la Joliette and the Docks building (5). These are former warehouses comparable to those in London. Enter and cross the various atriums, until you reach the Place du Port. Take entrance D to exit the building and reach the port terraces, opposite on the seafront. Enter the shopping mall and go straight up to level 2. A beautiful terrace equipped with chairs and deckchairs (6) offers a sublime view of the ferries, ships, islands and harbor. This is how the tour ends.
