Things to see and do Marseille 1st 13001

Take the direction of the Estaque by the A 55 towards Martigues or the port by the N 568, to the Plage beach, as well as by bus line No 35 and get off at the terminus. Walk a few hundred metres and go along the railway line on the Blue Coast. The line is not electrified, but TER and cargo convoys circulate in the middle of a splendid landscape. Before the tunnel, descend on the left; drague on the sides of the road and on the naturist beach, very gay, even if here you can cross families.

Tasting workshops around good wines. Thematic evenings: exhibitions, wine meetings, conferences, cooking courses. The visit of the cellars commented by Claudine, the mistress of the passionate places, will enchant you.

An indispensable place in Marseille!

In the Belsunce district, easily accessible by the T 2 or T 3 tram, Thubaneau Street is home to the Marseillaise memorial, recognizable by far by the great blue-white-white flag adorning its façade. Originally home to a palm play room in the seventeenth century, the place subsequently became a theater and then an Arab bath. It was in 1792 that the building became the seat of the Jacobins club, from which the Marseilles Federated, direction Paris for taking the Tuileries Palace. Their war song, that of the Rhine Army, will later become commonly known as the Marseillaise and our national anthem. The museum is centered around routes with images, multimedia archives and various recordings of the revolutionary song. A real success that we appreciate every visit. History but playful for those that the subject does not attract, well animated with its special effects, it will delight small and large. Opened in 2011, this unique historical interpretation center offers cultural activities and events as well as a wide selection of works and products in its boutique bookshop.
