La Blancarde
Located not far from the city center, this lively neighborhood adjoins the Chartreux and Saint-Pierre districts. It borders the left bank of the Jarret river and the Saint-Barnabé plateau.
La Blancarde is best known to the people of Marseille for the train station that bears its name.
A dynamic neighborhood, it offers a pleasant and calm life beyond the main traffic routes and close to the city center. It is also appreciated by families for its tranquility and its prestigious private schools: Chevreuil and Sainte-Marie Blancarde.
Mainly made up of old housing from the 50s and 70s, there are apartments with their original features and beautiful volumes.
The architecture of Sogima La Blancarde can be seen in these urban buildings, which vary in elevation through a play of overhangs, balconies or arcade-covered loggias. Cubist in style, they give a Mediterranean character to the street profiles.
