Les Cinqs Avenues - 4th arrondissement The heart of Marseille for the party animals among us ! Les Cinq Avenues gathers numerous great places: restaurants, pubs, trendy bars, everything you need for a good night out. Families are not left behind, with parc Longchamp and the Zoological Garden, offering great moments with children and friends. Well-served by the metro and tramway, it's the favorite neighborhood of Marseille Tourism!

Notre-Dame du Mont - 6th arrondissement

Lodi, Cours Julien and La Plaine, the neighborhood of artists and hipsters for many. One thing is certain, you eat well there and spend lively evenings until the early morning. Many proactive associations often organize events where young Marseille artists are showcased. During the day, we love strolling through the farmers' market at Cours Julien or browsing the small streets of the neighborhood and admiring the omnipresent street art. The Notre-Dame du Mont neighborhood is a must-visit if you are in Marseille.

La Joliette - 2ème arrondissement

Il y a quelques années le quartier de la Joliette n’était qu’un vaste espace en rénovation. Aujourd’hui, si les habitants déplorent un manque d’authenticité, tout est présent pour ravir les visiteurs de passage sur Marseille. Centres commerciaux titanesques, restaurants, boutiques avant-gardistes, sortir à la Joliette est devenu la grande tendance marseillaise. On aime l’accessibilité facilité par les transports en commun (bus, métro et tramway), exit la voiture et les dépenses parking superflues.

La Pointe Rouge - 8th arrondissement

It's the hotspot for lively evenings once the beautiful days arrive. La Pointe Rouge offers several trendy bars and nightclubs to party with friends. During the day, this neighborhood is a paradise for sports enthusiasts: sailing, diving, swimming, paddleboarding, jogging… It serves as a gateway to the Calanques Massif, and the neighborhood enjoys a picturesque setting and numerous green spaces, such as La Campagne Pastré, a popular picnic spot for many Marseille families.

Le Panier - 2nd arrondissement

Made famous in the eyes of the world (yes, the world) by the TV series Plus Belle La Vie, Le Panier is the historic center of Marseille. The narrow streets lead you to lively and colorful squares. Le Panier is the place for Marseillais people who are attached to the authenticity of old Marseille, neighborhood bars, and traditional restaurants. During the summer, numerous events are organized by associations, creating a vibrant nightlife where a festive and offbeat spirit prevails.
