Just a stone’s throw from the city center without suffering from its nuisances, the former working-class neighborhood, picturesque and quiet, has become one of the most sought-after in the city.

Very lively and commercial, it attracts young dynamic executives because the village life is gentle. Have a drink at the Comptoir Corse, before climbing up its steep streets, giving access to amazing landscapes as far as the eye can see.

Served by the metro and numerous bus lines, it is home to the Place Estrangin, a symbol of Marseille’s wealth in the 19th century, the shopping and pedestrian street Saint-Ferréol, as well as the Antiques district around the rue Edmond Rostand.

Four times a year “les journées d’Antiquités Brocante” are organized there: the stores are then open, the street becomes pedestrian. And it is the occasion to stroll in the city center and to do some shopping after a gourmet break at the Bistrot Saint-Jacques.
