Marseille is made up of districts with distinct characters: the shopping streets in the centre, lively squares and stairways leading down to the Old Port. Un Mas en Ville is in the Castellane et Préfecture area, south of the historic centre. The neighbourhood combines residential streets, cultural venues and metro stations; Cours Julien, known for its murals and cultural spots, gives the district a creative atmosphere.

Notre-Dame du Mont station is 150 m away and connects the area with other central districts. The Old Port, 880 m away, has a fish market, ferry terminals and quays where you can stroll and look out at the boats. Musée Cantini, 460 m away, displays modern art collections in a private mansion. Saint-Charles station is 1.4 km away. Further afield, Mucem and Fort Saint-Jean offer an insight into the city’s Mediterranean history and its links with the sea. Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica overlooks Marseille from its hill.

For a day in the city, you can start with the centre’s narrow streets and squares, head to the quays of the Old Port, then visit a museum or take the metro to the coastal districts. Catalans and Prophète beaches are a few kilometres from the centre. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for city walks; in summer, plan outdoor sightseeing for the morning and leave museums or breaks in the shade for the hottest hours. The metro network makes it easy to get around the central districts without a car.
