The building that houses the archives is both functional and environmentally friendly. Thus its vast courtyard and the enclosed public garden. On 7 levels, 70 kilometres of shelving carry endless linear pieces of books and documents. The departmental archives, where the essential memory of the territory is found, doubles from a lending service. The reading room, designed for on-site consultation, makes it possible to query databases, consult the digitized archives. Thanks to the interactive terminals that are needed today, we can and must book online documents. The fund, formed in part from the old municipal archives until 1790, dates back to medieval times and enters the digital age. Also searchable, the archives of 66 communes of Bouches-du-Rhône, notaries, the civil status, hospital and private archives. Regularly, thematic exhibitions are organized as well as eco-citizens forums.

A community radio station created in 1981, the "3 8" is a high quality alternative and mixed radio. A sort of local Radio Nova, all things considered. It plays a soundtrack alternating styles, from funk to hip hop, from electro to alternative rock through reggae and Mediterranean music. Local artists are regularly invited for interviews, live DJ sets and concerts. Radio Grenouille also regularly organizes events at the Friche Belle-de-Mai, where it is based. A state of mind we love!

The European Hospital opened its doors in August 2013, the result of the merger between the Ambroise Paré and Paul Desbief hospitals after a merger that began in 2004. This new establishment is eager to provide a modern hospital, with a multi-purpose care offer, a state-of-the-art technical platform, and high standard accommodation conditions (618 beds and places). The hospital is very easy to access with public transport on its doorstep. A 24-hour emergency service is provided, and all medical centres are represented. The reception of the staff is very professional. The most modern hospital in Marseille, accessible to all.
