Are you
a city person?

Head to the South of Marseille! A stone’s throw from Parc Borély, a tree-filled park covering 19 hectares on the seafront.

The Prado quarter with its beautiful buildings is an excellent option just a few stops on the metro from the city center. The historical business quarter, it includes the Velodrome stadium, the Cité Radieuse building (a famous architectural work by Le Corbusier) and the museum of contemporary art.

A few stops away by bus, the quarters of Mazargues, Roy d’Espagne, and Sainte-Anne and Saint-Giniez have a village feel. A village in the city, a stone’s throw from the sea and the Calanques National Park. A good compromise for city people who love nature.

Do you like prefer
to live by the sea?

An exceptional landscape, featuring white expanses of rocky inlets and the inky black of the vertiginous Cap Canaille cliff, Cassis offers a privileged living environment. A village built into the hillside, this little fishing port has retained its ancient charm with its colorful facades and a culture oriented towards the sweet life. It will enchant sea lovers with its little coves and crystal waters.

Further inland from Cassis, in the heart of the hills, Carnoux is a good option for smaller budgets, 15 minutes from the sea.
