Saint-Menet is in eastern Marseille, in an area where residential neighbourhoods meet green spaces and the first foothills of the Provençal hills. The atmosphere is different from that of the Vieux-Port: traffic is mainly between neighbourhoods, and a car is useful for reaching the city's main sights or heading to the coast. The area suits travellers who want to stay in Marseille while having walking areas nearby.

La Penne-sur-Huveaune railway station is 400 m away and provides access to the regional rail network. Calanques National Park is one of the nearby natural areas; its trails and coves attract walkers and those who enjoy Mediterranean scenery. Château de la Reynarde and the neighbourhood's parks offer other ideas for a walk. For a city visit, Palais Longchamp houses the Fine Arts Museum and the Natural History Museum. The Vieux-Port, Fort Saint-Jean and Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations offer a glimpse of Marseille's maritime heritage. The city centre is about a 20-minute drive away.

Spring and autumn are pleasant times to combine city visits with walks in the hills, while summer is well suited to trips to the calanques and the coast. The trails call for sturdy shoes and careful attention to the weather; access to some natural areas may be restricted depending on the season and fire risk. For a day in the city, you can spend the morning at the Vieux-Port and its museums, then finish with a walk in one of Marseille's parks.
