In Marseille, culture rarely stays confined to the walls of museums. It extends to the waterfront, the fortifications, the winding streets of Le Panier, and even to the islands in the harbor.

Marseille is a city shaped by the sea. Its islands are visible just a stone’s throw from the port, while to the south, the limestone cliffs gradually plunge into the Mediterranean all the way to the Calanques.

From the Palais du Pharo to the CEPAC Vélodrome, Marseille will host several conferences and professional events in September and October 2026. Check out the dates that will mark the start of the new season and plan your stay on the waterfront.

Marseille isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to explore, savor, and watch as it changes throughout the day. A narrow street in Le Panier in the early morning, the light shining on the Frioul Islands, a drink overlooking the sea, or a few hours in the Calanques are enough to give your stay a whole new feel.

At the entrance to the Old Port, the Mucem seems to float on the water. Its concrete latticework lets light through, its walkways connect to the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean, and the Mediterranean comes into view at every turn.
