What to do in Bompard?
The Bompard district is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful areas of the Phocaean city. The area boasts beautiful, colourful houses, a picturesque setting where life is good. The area is reminiscent of the small villages of the south of France, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere, despite its relatively young population. The area has developed enormously since the construction of the Corniche John Fitzgerald Kennedy, making it more accessible. If you’re passing through Bompard, we recommend a stroll along the Corniche. Over a distance of more than three kilometres, you’ll be able to admire some stunning scenery as you pass small fishing huts, old-fashioned villas, some of Marseille’s beaches and historic monuments. A cycle path has even been created in 2019, giving you the chance to admire the view by bike.
One of the district’s must-sees is the famous Villa Gaby. Overlooking the sea, this regional treasure stands out for its immaculate whiteness, its verdant garden strewn with statues and its unique view of the Frioul islands. The house once belonged to the famous Marseillaise Gaby Deslys, who donated the villa on her death, naming it after her. The villa’s lounges can be hired to accommodate professionals or individuals for seminars, celebrations and other large-scale events.
You can also discover the Château Berger (now called the Thermes Marins Promicea), a thalassotherapy centre nestling on the Corniche Kennedy. Massages, spas, facials and body treatments: enjoy a moment of unparalleled relaxation in a top-quality establishment.
If you’re passing through Marseille’s 7th arrondissement, we recommend a stop at the famous Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, the city’s landmark.
