The Eden-Théâtre in La Ciotat, built in 1889, is recognised as the world’s oldest cinema still in operation. Linked to the history of the Lumière brothers, it held its first paid screening on 21 March 1899, establishing La Ciotat as a cradle of cinema. A true monument to La Ciotat’s cultural heritage, the Eden Théâtre holds a unique place in the global history of cinema. Built in 1889 as a performance venue, it originally hosted theatre performances, music-hall concerts and various popular events. A few years later, its destiny changed following a meeting between the Lumière family and the venue’s owners, making La Ciotat one of the birthplaces of cinema. At the end of the 19th century, the Lumière brothers stayed regularly in La Ciotat, where they shot several films that laid the foundations of cinema history. Captivated by the town and its landscapes, they experimented there with their revolutionary invention: the Cinématographe. After several private screenings organised in 1895, the Eden became the venue for a decisive stage in this adventure. On 21 March 1899, 250 spectators attended the first public, ticketed screening held in the theatre. This screening of Lumière films marked the Eden’s official entry into the history of cinema. As other cinemas from that era have disappeared or been radically transformed, the Eden Theatre is now recognised by Guinness World Records as the oldest cinema still in operation in the world. Fully restored in keeping with its original architecture, the Eden Théâtre continues its cultural mission today by offering a programme that combines cinema, heritage and artistic events. By honouring the memory of the pioneers of the silver screen whilst showcasing contemporary creativity, it offers visitors a unique experience in a venue steeped in history, where one can still feel the excitement of cinema’s early days. This must-see venue in La Ciotat is therefore a must-visit for all lovers of culture, history and cinema wishing to discover one of the most iconic sites of the world’s cinematic heritage. The screening room has a maximum capacity of 161 seats. An arthouse cinema with three labels (Heritage, Young Audiences and Short Films).

La Bastide Marin is a historic monument undergoing restoration. It is an interpretation centre for Mediterranean heritage. This concept symbolises the union between Mother Earth and the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostrum. Home to long-distance sailors, La Bastide Marin was at the heart of a large agricultural area where vineyards and olive groves provided significant harvests. Here you will discover architectural heritage dating back more than four centuries: a manor house and a farm. The natural setting, restored by members of the La Ciotat Il Était Une Fois association, is an eco-friendly site that houses an educational farm. It is also an LPO refuge consisting of several landscaped, secret and harmonious gardens. La Bastide Marin has been listed as a Historic Monument since 4 March 2013. Glorious long-distance sailors lived here for centuries. They braved storms, epidemics and pirates. Members of the Order of Malta, their bastide was hospitable. A summer resort, a place of care and refuge during maritime attacks, La Bastide Marin holds many secrets. A remarkable heritage site, it is the only remnant of the glorious days of maritime trade. The only surviving bastide in La Ciotat, Bastide Marin has a rich and fascinating history. Built around 1550, its owners were long-distance sailors and shipowners. Owned by the Marin family, bourgeoisie of the maritime city in the 17th century, the bastide would belong over the centuries to the Abeille, Portalis and Fabre families, before returning to the Marin family in the 19th century. Its owners lived off the riches of maritime trade and managed the city (several consuls over the centuries, coats of arms and a large heritage in La Ciotat and Marseille). Despite their desire to preserve the property, the heirs were forced to sell it to the municipality of La Ciotat on 9 July 1992 to settle inheritance costs. The Bastide and its lands then fell into disrepair, forgotten, squatted in and vandalised until 2004. Rescue of the Bastide Marin and restoration of the heritage Since 2004, the La Ciotat, Il Était Une Fois association has been working on a project to restore the Bastide Marin and its natural setting. With its 600 volunteers and extensive partnerships, its aim is to highlight periods of history by encouraging the active participation of all citizens. It contributes to the promotion and transmission of knowledge and skills by preserving and restoring natural and built heritage. A centre for interpreting Mediterranean matriarchal heritage. The concept of Mediterranean matriarchal heritage symbolises the union between Mother Earth and the Mediterranean Sea, Mare Nostrum. It also recalls the commitment of women throughout the centuries. Indeed, La Bastide Marin is a place where land and sea come together to form a single heritage. Home to long-distance sailors, it was also at the centre of a large agricultural area (10 hectares) where vineyards and olive trees provided significant harvests. Here and around the Mediterranean, the land and the sea are at the heart of ancestral traditions, knowledge and popular wisdom; they are matrimoine. This centre for interpreting Mediterranean matrimoine will aim to preserve and pass on ancient techniques and ancestral know-how to visitors and younger generations through spaces created and designed for educational purposes. Remarkable architecture Preserved by two hackberry trees, one of which is over three hundred years old, the façade of the residence is austere, faithful to the humility imposed by the hospitable order, but it has three rows of corbels, the first of which is inverted. Built with lime, a finely chiselled cobblestone pavement welcomes visitors. This presentation, which is by no means exhaustive, illustrates the rich architectural heritage of Bastide Marin. It holds many mysteries, and the association is still far from having uncovered all its secrets.

At the level of the port of Saint-Jean and in the continuity of the Grande Plage is the Saint-Jean beach. Adjacent to the port of Saint-Jean, the Saint-Jean beach is a small sand and gravel beach, generally not very busy and with a very family atmosphere. During the season, kayaks can be rented, as well as deckchairs, mattresses and parasols. Several restaurants are located near the beach. There is a beautiful view of the Bec de l'Aigle and the Ile Verte. Parking is possible around the port of Saint-Jean. This is a non-smoking, non-supervised beach and dogs are not allowed on the beach.

The Lumière beach is located near the Henri Langlois esplanade and opposite the Allée Lumière. Lumière beach is one of the four large family beaches of La Ciotat. The Lumière beach is very popular with families with children as the low gradient makes it easy to swim. There are also activities for children on the esplanade. This sandy beach has a first aid post open during the summer. It has been awarded the Tourism & Handicap label for the four disabilities (mental, auditory, visual and motor), and benefits from a system designed for people with disabilities, including an access ramp for people with reduced mobility, the provision of specific swimming chairs and trained staff. This is a non-smoking beach and dogs are not allowed on the beach. Several hotels as well as many restaurants and cafes are located close to the beach. The nearest car park is at the port of Saint Jean. Parking is also available along the Boulevard Beaurivage and in the perpendicular avenues.

This chapel, also called the Chapel of Notre Dame de Grâce, is a model of Counter-Reformation architecture. The chapel was once owned by the Hospice, a place of worship for the local Italian community, and is now an exhibition and cultural centre. The octagonal bell tower, the sculptures on the façade, the gargoyles and the characteristic windows are particularly worth seeing. The octagonal bell tower was built between 1633 and 1650 and the interior decoration of some windows bears the dates 1693 and 1694. The chapel was classified as a historical monument on 31 March 1992.

The association Les Amis du Vieux La Ciotat, which manages this museum, has preserved the memories of the past to present them to the public. The association Les Amis du Vieux La Ciotat invites you to discover local life through more than 15,000 items from its private collection.

Brought to life through scenes of daily life, traditional life (cultural, religious, agricultural and fishing) with its customs and traditions is brought to life in full scale. The Musée Ciotaden, which holds the ‘Musée de France’ accreditation, welcomes you to the former town hall, a municipal building listed as a Historic Monument.

The cove and its park are protected by the Bec de l'Aigle against the mistral and the microclimate that reigns there has allowed the development of a tropical flora between cactus, bamboo and birds of paradise. Activities on site: discovery of the marine environment and visit to the botanical park. Games for young children (inside the botanical park). Restaurant.
