Saint-Victor
A neighborhood of young dynamic executives, Saint-Victor takes its name from the abbey that is in its center.
Stretching from the Old Port to the beginning of Boulevard Tellène, the neighborhood is home to the Old Port Tunnel, making it easy to leave the city center for marine escapades or business trips.
In this area, quality and proximity prevail, it is one of the rare districts in Marseille where everything is within walking distance. There are many restaurants and quality shops, from the greengrocer or the baker on the corner, to the Italian delicatessen answering to the sweet name of La Fiorentina.
Strolling, wandering, wandering, small stores grow in the streets, attracting tourists as well as hipsters and other bobos. We highly recommend the concept stores on rue Sainte, such as the cozy Cut & Mix gallery where you can choose a vinyl while having a color made, while leafing through books on the history of art of the XXth century. Of course there are also exhibitions!
A tip for discovering this neighborhood: start by having a morning coffee at the Café de l’Abbaye after a stop at the Four des Navettes and continue your walk to the Palais du Pharo, here the sky and the sea dominate you.
