Marseille 2nd district
A historic district experiencing vibrant renewal
Marseille’s 2nd arrondissement blends historic charm with waterfront renewal. Le Panier, the city’s oldest district, enchants with its narrow streets, colorful façades and village atmosphere overlooking the Old Port, close to City Hall.
Along the seafront, the Cathedral of La Major and the InterContinental — set in the former Hôtel-Dieu — create a prestigious architectural setting facing the Mediterranean. Further north, La Joliette reflects modern Marseille, with the maritime port, renovated docks, offices and shopping areas.
A central district in full transformation, sought after for its mix of heritage, sea views and urban dynamism.
