Marseille 7ème
Between the sea, heritage, and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
La Corniche Kennedy: A Balcony Over the Mediterranean
A true backbone of Marseille’s 7th arrondissement, the Corniche du Président John Fitzgerald Kennedy stretches for nearly 5 kilometers, connecting the Vieux-Port de Marseille to the Plages du Prado while following the Mediterranean coastline. Lined with 19th-century villas, hotels, restaurants, and hidden coves, the Corniche offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Marseille, overlooking the famous Frioul Archipelago. From here, visitors can admire iconic sites such as the picturesque Vallon des Auffes, a small traditional fishing harbor, or the charming Anse de la Fausse Monnaie. The Corniche is also home to the historic Marseille Tidal Gauge, a monument used to measure sea levels, as well as beautiful cultural and green spaces such as Parc Valmer and the open-air Théâtre Silvain. Several of Marseille’s most popular beaches can be accessed from the Corniche, including Plage des Catalans, Plage du Prophète, and the Plages du Prado.
Endoume: Authentic Charm and Village Spirit
Located east of the Old Port, Endoume is beloved for its authentic village atmosphere and strong maritime heritage. Formerly known as Domezes, the neighborhood has preserved its traditional cabanons, narrow streets, and colorful houses. Just steps from the sea, Endoume enjoys an exceptional natural setting near the Vallon des Auffes and the charming Anse de Malmousque.
Today, Endoume is a highly desirable residential neighborhood, combining quiet streets, local shops, and quick access to Marseille’s city center. Favorite spots: Café Cécile, Pizzeria L’Eau à la Bouche, Épicerie Moutchou, and the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Petit Nice.
Malmousque: Marseille’s Bohemian-Chic Hidea
A true gem of the 7th arrondissement, Malmousque is now considered one of the most trendy and sought-after neighborhoods in Marseille. With its turquoise coves, pastel-shuttered cabanons, and relaxed bohemian atmosphere, Malmousque attracts artists, entrepreneurs, and young families alike. Locals and visitors come here to swim at sunrise, watch the sunset over the Frioul islands, or enjoy intimate cafés away from the city’s tourist crowds. Favorite spots: Poissonnerie Kennedy and Boujou Coffee.
Bompard: Elegance and Spectacular Views. Situated between Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Corniche du Président John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Bompard is an upscale residential district developed mainly from the 1950s onward.
Once a pine forest, the area now features eclectic villas, elegant residences, and picturesque streets. One of its most iconic landmarks is Villa Gaby, overlooking the bay of Marseille.
Close to Parc Valmer and the Théâtre Silvain, Bompard attracts families and professionals seeking peace, greenery, and stunning sea views. Favorite spots: Zia Concetta Corniche, Café Le Sunset, and Glacier Chez Loulou.
Saint-Victor: History at the Heart of Marseille. Centered around the historic Abbey of Saint-Victor, Saint-Victor is one of the oldest districts in Marseille. Located close to the Vieux-Port de Marseille, the neighborhood blends historic heritage, lively streets, and a dynamic local atmosphere, making it a favorite area for both residents and visitors.
Saint-Lambert: A Quiet Residential Atmosphere. The neighborhood of Saint-Lambert offers a peaceful residential environment, appreciated for its proximity to both the sea and Notre-Dame de la Garde. Its calm streets and local lifestyle make it an attractive area for families and long-term residents.
Samatan: Panoramic Views and Tranquility. Perched on the hills above the coastline, Samatan is known for its open views, quiet atmosphere, and quick access to the Corniche. This discreet residential area offers a balance between urban proximity and peaceful living.
