Marseille’s 9th arrondissement stretches between the city’s residential southern neighbourhoods and the hills that mark the start of the Calanques massif. Around Mazargues and Le Redon, the area is less densely built-up than the centre, with neighbourhood streets, green spaces and routes towards the coast. This part of the city suits travellers who want to combine sightseeing, trips to the seaside and walks in nature.

Calanques National Park begins in this area, with its limestone cliffs, trails and Mediterranean coves. Borély Beach and Bonneveine Beach are places to enjoy the seafront, while Borély Park is ideal for a stroll along its paths and through its gardens. The Cité Radieuse, designed by Le Corbusier, is a striking architectural landmark in southern Marseille. Sainte-Marguerite Dromel metro station is 3 km away and connects the area to the city’s transport network. Marseille-Provence Airport is 25 km away.

In summer, the beaches and calanques attract more visitors; setting off early helps you enjoy the trails and coves during the cooler hours. Spring and early autumn offer pleasant conditions for walking in the hills or exploring the coast. You can combine a day in the massif with some time on the beach and an evening in central Marseille, which is accessible by public transport or car. If you plan to explore the calanques, bring sturdy shoes and water, especially on sunny days.
