Marseille, after dark, sparkles like a star of the south.
Let yourself be seduced by the Phocaean city in its lights, with its emblematic monuments, lively districts and the Old Port, which is the heart of Marseille.
Here are the must-sees for a little nighttime sightseeing after your day of teleworking:
- The fountain of the Place Castellane is magnified at night by its lighting.
- The Plage des Prophètes, dominated by the corniche, is the perfect place to relax at night.
- The Palais du Pharo and its terrace offer an unobstructed night view of the Mediterranean Sea, the harbour of Marseille and the Cathedral de la Major with its Byzantine domes.
- The illuminated Velodrome Stadium remains the mythical stadium of French football.
- The Palais Longchamp, home to the Natural History Museum and the Fine Arts Museum, is known for its illuminated waterfalls, pools and fountains.
- The Mucem, an architectural jewel, is linked to Fort Saint Jean by a 115-metre long footbridge over the sea.
- And what could be more romantic to decompress than a sea trip at sunset?
Upcoming event: La Fiesta des Suds (FR) in the old docks from October 7 to 9.
