Le Clos du Jas

Le Clos du Jas offers two accommodation options for two people: a 12 m² Small Double Room and a 40 m² One-Bedroom House. Both have a private bathroom, air conditioning and a private entrance. The double room includes a seating area, a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle. The house offers more space, with a separate bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals.

The One-Bedroom House stands out for its mountain views, bath and walk-in shower. Its kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave and toaster. The Small Double Room is a more compact option, with a shower and tea and coffee-making facilities. Both accommodation options have a double bed. The choice is between a room with essential facilities and a house with a kitchen, dining area and more space to settle in.

Le Clos du Jas has a garden, a sun terrace and outdoor furniture for enjoying the open-air spaces. Parasols and sun loungers are also available. Inside, the shared lounge is a place to relax and watch TV; coffee is available on site. The rooms are air-conditioned and heated, and each has a private entrance. A full English or Irish breakfast is served at the bed and breakfast.

Free public parking is available on site, but cannot be reserved. Wi-Fi is free throughout the bed and breakfast. The rooms have a private bathroom, towels, linen, toiletries and a hairdryer. An electric kettle and a dining area are also listed among the room facilities. Le Clos du Jas is exclusively for adults; its garden and terrace offer outdoor spaces to take a break between outings in Marseille.

Marseille’s 13th arrondissement stretches north-east of the city centre, across a residential landscape where urban neighbourhoods meet the hills of the Massif de l’Étoile. The streets alternate between houses, small green spaces and livelier areas around the transport routes. The bed and breakfast is set in this hilly area, which suits travellers who want to explore the city while keeping access to nature walks. Trails in the nearby hills offer a different side of Marseille, away from the seafront and the Vieux-Port neighbourhoods.

La Rose metro station, 2.6 km away, connects you to the Marseille network so you can continue your visit without a car. The Palais Longchamp, 6 km away, brings together a landscaped garden, the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Muséum d’histoire naturelle in a monumental 19th-century complex. Closer to the coast, the MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean, 8 km away, overlook the entrance to the Vieux-Port and tell the story of the exchanges between Marseille and the Mediterranean. Marseille-Provence Airport is 17 km away. A car can make it easier to explore the outer neighbourhoods and the Calanques; in the centre, the metro and walking are practical options.

Marseille can be visited all year round, with often sunny days and hot summers enlivened by the terraces and port. In spring and autumn, milder temperatures are better for walking in the hills or spending a day at the museums. In summer, take water and sun protection on walks; the mistral can also make the air feel cooler. You could start the day with a walk in the hills, then visit the Palais Longchamp or the old town before heading to the Vieux-Port in the late afternoon.
