• Fort Saint-Jean - Start your evening at the enchanting Fort Saint-Jean, a fortress from the 12th century that stands guard at the entrance to the Old Port. As the sun sets, explore the MuCEM Gardens (Jardin des Migrations) on the fort’s upper levels. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the sea and port as the golden hour casts a warm glow over the stone fortifications. Stroll through the gardens, which feature Mediterranean plants, and cross the footbridge linking Fort Saint-Jean to MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations). The museum’s contemporary architecture, designed by Rudy Ricciotti, is beautifully lit in the evening.
• La Corniche - Board a fun, eco-friendly electric tuk-tuk for a scenic ride along Corniche Kennedy, the iconic coastal road that follows the Mediterranean Sea. As the evening breeze flows through your hair, take in stunning views of the sea, the rocky outcrops of the Calanques, and the distant shimmering Frioul islands. Along the way, pass Vallon des Auffes, a charming traditional fishing cove, and the impressive Monument aux Morts de l’Armée d’Orient, honoring WWI soldiers.
• Phare Sainte Marie - After the scenic coastal drive, arrive at the Phare de Sainte Marie (Sainte Marie Lighthouse), a hidden gem offering exceptional nighttime views of the Old Port and the Mediterranean. This quaint, small lighthouse is located at the harbor entrance and is especially photogenic under the moonlight. Enjoy the fresh sea air while learning about the lighthouse’s role in Marseille’s maritime history.
• Palais Longchamp - Next, explore a lesser-known aspect of Marseille’s historical architecture: the underground tunnels of Palais Longchamp. While the grand palace and its fountains are stunning during the day, few know about the network of old water tunnels beneath, connected to the 19th-century Marseille Canal. With a local guide, explore these tunnels by torchlight, discovering how they once supplied fresh water to the city. The cool, mysterious atmosphere inside offers an intriguing contrast to the city above. After emerging from the tunnels, take a moment to admire the palace’s grand architecture under the stars.
• Cité Radieuse Le Corbusier - Conclude the evening with a visit to the rooftop of the renowned Cité Radieuse, the architectural masterpiece by Le Corbusier. This UNESCO-listed modernist building, often called “La Maison du Fada” (the Madman’s House), is a symbol of post-war architecture and a center of artistic expression. As night falls, the rooftop terrace becomes a stargazing paradise. With the guidance of a local astronomer, peer through telescopes to observe the stars, planets, and constellations above Marseille’s skyline. The minimalist architecture of the rooftop enhances the ethereal experience.
• Marseille - End your evening at Hôtel de Cabre, Marseille’s oldest house, dating back to the 16th century. This intriguing building has witnessed centuries of history, from plagues to wars, and local legend claims it’s haunted. Meet a local storyteller who will share eerie ghost stories and legends about the house and Marseille’s historic quarter. As you listen to these tales, illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns, you’ll feel transported to another time.
