Marseille 1st district

The historic heart of Marseille, the Old Port embodies the city’s spirit, blending maritime heritage with a Mediterranean lifestyle. Lively year-round, it offers a highly sought-after central setting with vibrant quays, the daily fish market, ferry connections to the Château d’If and the Calanques, and open views toward Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde.

Just steps away, the Opéra district stands out for its elegant buildings and refined urban atmosphere, while La Canebière — Marseille’s iconic boulevard — brings together shops, transport links and city life. Together, they form one of the most attractive central areas of the 1st arrondissement, ideal for enjoying the energy of downtown Marseille.
