Les Chambres de l'Abbaye

Les Chambres de l'Abbaye offers three double rooms, all equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. They overlook the garden and have a patio; soundproofing is also among their features. The Emma and Jules rooms share several characteristics: each measures 25 m², has a balcony and accommodates up to three people. Each has one single bed and one large double bed.

The Ninon room, on the ground floor, has a different layout: its 20 m² accommodate two people, and it is accessed directly from the garden. It has one large double bed, a patio and a view of the greenery, but no balcony. The Emma and Jules rooms have the same floor area and the same main features; their names let you select the category you want. The garden is shared by all three rooms, while the balcony distinguishes the two 25 m² rooms.

The outdoor spaces include a garden, a patio, garden furniture and a sun terrace. A further terrace completes these facilities, and continental breakfast can be served there when the sun is out. Luggage storage is available, and housekeeping is provided daily. Guests also have access to an executive lounge.

In the rooms, air conditioning, heating and soundproofing complement the parquet flooring. Free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms. Facilities include a flat-screen TV and an electric kettle in every accommodation. Bathrooms include towels, free toiletries, a hairdryer and a shower or bath. Private indoor parking is available on site, by reservation and for an additional charge. Facilities for disabled guests are also available.

The Saint-Victor district occupies the slopes bordering the Old Port, in Marseille’s 7th arrondissement. Its streets feature historic façades, small squares and sloping passageways, with occasional views opening out over the port and sea. This is an urban area where you can alternate heritage visits with walks in the gardens and breaks on the quays. The Old Port, 540 m away, remains a lively landmark for watching the boats and exploring the seafront.

Saint-Victor Basilica and its neighbourhood evoke the city’s ancient history; Fort Saint-Jean and the MuCEM extend the walk towards the entrance to the port. The MuCEM presents the civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean in a contemporary building linked to the fort by a footbridge. Jardin de la Colline Puget has tree-lined paths and views over Marseille. Vieux-Port metro station is 600 m away, and Marseille-Saint-Charles station is 1.7 km away. Plage des Catalans is 1 km away; a car is useful for exploring the calanques, but not essential for visiting the centre.

Marseille can be explored year-round, with longer days and lively port activity in summer. In hot weather, plan walks for early morning or late afternoon, and leave time for a swim along the coast. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for exploring on foot, from Le Panier to the quays of the Old Port. You can spend a day visiting the MuCEM, wandering through the centre’s narrow streets and taking a boat to the Frioul Islands, depending on available services. The mistral can make the air feel cooler, even in the sunshine.
