As you stroll along the Corniche, just after passing the Anse de la Fausse-monnaie and before venturing into the greenery of Valmer Park, you will notice a strange building on your right, next to which will be an explanatory sign. You are here in front of the tide gauge, a masterpiece of technology and engineering, dating back to the 19th century and allowing the most accurate maritime measurements since then. This is where the reference level 0 is located in France, from which the altitude of Mont-Blanc was measured and where sea level is monitored (which has risen by 16 cm in just over a century. An unusual work ignored by most people in Marseille.

Beau point de vue sur la corniche. N'hésitez pas à prendre le bus 83 pour découvrir le marégraphe.

Le marégraphe se trouve le long de la corniche. Pas facile de se garer car cet axe est encombré. Plus jouable à pied
