Map | add to Travel Bag (NEW)


Lined with cafés and restaurants serving local cuisine, the city centre’s largest pedestrianized area is the ideal place in which to relax after a spot of shopping in some of its stylish boutiques. As evening falls, the square’s popular cocktail bars, nightclubs and jazz cafés have the crowds thronging in. Inaugurated in 1988 and modelled on the Italian piazza by architect Charlie Bové, the square is located on the site of the former 17th-century Arsenal des Galères prison built during Louis XIV’s reign.

Le Ferry-Boat
Ongoing
Picturesque Way to Travel
This reputable and reasonably-priced shuttle boat is firmly rooted in Marseillaise tradition. The landing stages can be found in front of Place aux Huiles at the Vieux-Port (the old port) or opposite the Town Hall on the Quai du Port. In order to avoid traveling around the port side - both a long way to walk and a tiresome car journey in rush hour - the Ferry-Boat and its captain can take you across the old port in just 5 minutes. What is more, a fabulous panorama awaits you over Notre-Dame de la Garde and the Pharo palace, beautifully framed by the upper reaches of the old town at the summit of the Panier district. Enjoy a delightful moment of relaxation amid the city stress. Phone for exact operating times.
