Begun in 1848, the work on the Corniche led in 1863 to the construction of two viaducts to cross the Auffes and Fausse-Monnaie creeks.
The Corniche is considered a public maritime domain. While walking along it, you will discover the islands of Marseille, beautiful residences, the Memorial of the Repatriates, the Orient Gate, the tide gauge, hidden beaches and restaurants.
