There's much more to the vibrant and ancient port city on the Mediterranean Sea than the cliché of pétanque, pastis and distaste for Parisians.
The port on the Mediterranean Sea is the country’s oldest city and a major crossroads for the civilizations that have thrived across the basin since it was founded as “Massilia” around 600 BCE by Greek settlers who came from Phocaea, a city on the western coast of Anatolia, now in modern-day Turkey.
Since the sea is the star here, Les Bords de Mer is ideally located in the Corniche district and just off the Plage des Catalans beach. This 19-room 1930s property is now part of the Domaines de Fontenilles hospitality group and has been restored to its former glory with only one idea in mind: maximizing the sensational seafront experience.
Nodding to Marseille’s position as a major node on the Mediterranean, the Mucem opened in 2013 as the first museum solely dedicated to this crucible of civilization and cross-cultural exchanges, treated through a multidisciplinary approach that blends anthropology, history, archeology and art. For street art enthusiasts, the Cours Julien is a must-see and the starting point to explore a colorful neighborhood that’s rife with striking murals, as well as trendy cafés, restaurants and stores.
Virtually next door in La Major is the Marseille outpost of South American concept Andia. Decorated by Alexis Mabille, this 150-seat address was imagined as a jungle that sprouted under the arcades below the Sainte-Marie-Majeure cathedral, with flora and fauna bursting prettily from every surface and spilling out onto an alfresco area that nods to Mediterranean gardens. From Thursday to Saturday, its second service will have party vibes, and a weekend brunch will be added in the fall.
