In some squares, the playgrounds can still be used but are under the responsibility of the parents who must ensure that the sanitary rules are respected and, in particular, that the children are physically distanced.

This 17-hectare garden is home to an 18th-century country house, enhanced by a French garden and a 19th-century landscaped park. The garden retains the imprint of the engineer and architect Embry (1775). From this project remain the symmetrical lines of the present garden...

Marseille Durable
To visit Parc Borély, you need to take your time! This vast green space in Marseille, next to the racecourse and close to the beaches, is home to a beautifully restored 18th-century bastide (Museum of Decorative Arts, Earthenware and Fashion), a formal garden, a 19th-century landscaped park and the Edouard-Marie Heckel botanical garden.
This resourceful park is appreciated by all. Visitors come to stroll through the rose garden, observe rare species and remarkable trees, and discover sculptures and monuments along the paths. We come to enjoy the lake, the refreshment bar or the restaurant, walking, running, dreaming, with or without the children... It's a place of discovery, nature, encounters and life.
