Where and how?

The next edition of“La voie est libre” will take place on Sunday October 20 from 10am to 8pm. A day when traffic will be gentle and serene, when everyone will be able to take full advantage of Marseille’s coastline and sunshine, and finally reclaim public space.

The pedestrian route will cover the Corniche Kennedy between Catalans beach and Talabot.

Along the way, toilets and information points will be available for everyone, as well as cultural, sporting, fun and musical events in which everyone is invited to take part if they wish. Scooters, bicycles, tandems, rosalies and even triplets will be available for self-service along the walk.

You’ll also be able to enjoy a wide range of entertainment, strolling and music – enough to put you in a good mood all day long!
