Marseille’s 8th district along the Mediterranean coast

Borély and La Plage: nature, leisure and the Mediterranean art of living
The Borély district is organized around the famous Parc Borély, one of the most beautiful parks in the city. With its gardens, lake, château and seaside promenade, it forms a true green lung in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement. Just a short walk away, the La Plage area offers an exceptional living environment overlooking the Mediterranean, with beach restaurants and seaside promenades that are very popular with both locals and visitors.

Montredon, Pointe Rouge and Grotte Rolland: the maritime spirit of southern Marseille
Further south, the Montredon district marks the transition between the city and the wilder coastal landscapes. The Pointe Rouge area is particularly appreciated for its family-friendly beach, marina and water sports activities. Nearby, the Grotte Rolland neighborhood, located close to the Calanques National Park, offers an outstanding natural setting with coves, hiking trails and preserved Mediterranean landscapes.
Le Cabanon de Paulette is a friendly seaside cabanon much loved for its Mediterranean cuisine and its typically Marseillais atmosphere.

Les Goudes: a fishing village at the gateway to the calanques
The village of Les Goudes offers a unique atmosphere. With its small fishing port, cabanons and seaside restaurants, this iconic spot attracts lovers of nature and spectacular scenery. A true gateway to the calanques of Marseille, Les Goudes embodies an authentic and untamed Marseille, where sea and rock shape an exceptional landscape.
Notable addresses include Tuba Club, a former diving club transformed into an iconic lifestyle destination; La Marine des Goudes, a restaurant renowned for its fish dishes overlooking the port; Chez Paul – L’Auberge du Corsaire, a Marseille institution; and Le Grand Bar des Goudes, an emblematic spot for dinner facing the sea.
