Marseille Durable
A garden with exotic plants, a varangue where it's nice to linger on summer evenings: the setting is set. The colonial allure of this house comes from its origins: a sailor had it built in 1902 for his West Indian wife. Its current owner has preserved this old-fashioned charm, while adding comfort and modernity. The 3 bedrooms and the gîte have been decorated in this spirit, with old photographs, tapestries, antique furniture and 1900s-style bathroom fittings. In the evening, romantics can enjoy the sunset over the Saména cove. Located in the 8th arrondissement, it's also the starting point for many hikes in the Parc National des Calanques. In summer, a 20-minute boat ride takes you to the heart of Marseille.
