La Petite Maison

La Petite Maison offers two 15 m² rooms, with layouts designed for different kinds of stays. The Double Room with Terrace sleeps up to two people and has a private bathroom. The Double Room with Garden View is for one person and has a shared bathroom. Both rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, and offer views of the garden and city. Each room also has a coffee machine.

The terrace sets the first room apart: it overlooks the garden and mountains and provides private outdoor space. It can be set up with two single beds or one large double bed. The second room has a double bed; its bathroom includes a shower or a bath, while the toilet is shared. The views of the garden and city, as well as the floor area, are the same in both room types. The main difference is therefore the private bathroom and terrace in the room intended for two people.

La Petite Maison has several areas designed for spending time outdoors. A sun terrace, outdoor furniture and a dining area let you enjoy the Marseille air, and there is also a picnic area. The private beach adds to these outdoor spaces, while parasols and sun loungers are available. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and the rooms are air-conditioned.

Activities range from leisurely outings to sports: walking tours, bike tours, cycling, hiking and horse riding are among the options. The water park, scuba diving and windsurfing add water-based activities. There is a café on site, and the rooms have a kettle or coffee machine. A fridge and microwave are available for meals. The property also has a lift and access to an executive lounge. Paid public parking is available nearby.

Marseille’s 8th arrondissement combines residential neighbourhoods, wide avenues and access to the coast. Around Rue Jean Mermoz, the cityscape opens out towards Prado and its walking areas. This part of the city suits travellers who want to alternate seaside outings with visits to the centre, without staying on the busiest streets of the Old Port. The metro makes it easy to reach central neighbourhoods, while the beaches and parks add a different dimension to your stay.

Borély Park combines gardens and walking routes, while Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse offers a chance to see a landmark of modern architecture. Prado beaches, 1.9 km away, provide access to the Marseille coastline. Place Castellane, 1.1 km away, is a lively crossroads and a route to several neighbourhoods. Périer metro station is 350 m away; Rond-Point du Prado serves, among other places, the area around Orange Vélodrome stadium and the exhibition centre. For a day in the old town, the Old Port and the museums in the centre are accessible by public transport.

Marseille can be visited all year round, with often sunny days in spring and autumn, when walks are more pleasant than at the height of summer. In summer, the sea and beaches play a major part in outings, but the coastline is busier. You can spend a morning at Borély Park, continue to Prado beaches, then head into the centre to explore the Old Port or Le Panier neighbourhood. The Mucem and Fort Saint-Jean offer another cultural stop, with views over the harbour entrance and the Mediterranean. Metro lines make it possible to combine these visits without relying solely on a car.
