Located northwest of Marseille, the 16th district is one of the boroughs associated with the famous northern districts of the Phocaean city. As a result, this area of the city does not really have a good reputation, even if the 16th still has the advantage of being by the sea… Yet this district also has a lot of character as it looks like a Provençal village in some neighbourhoods like around Grawitz Boulevard and Jean Labro where the streets are peaceful. On the Estaque side, the feeling of tranquillity is the same due to the small streets and the many shops. On the heights, the houses of Riaux confirm this impression of being in a Provençal village, with a magnificent view over the sea as a bonus! Finally, the 16th district is very lively due to its fishing and pleasure port where there are several restaurants and leisure activities, such as water sports. It is finally in the port that the charm of the 16th district of Marseille is truly concentrated!

When to go to Marseille?

The best time to go to Marseille is in the spring or fall, during the low season. Hotel and restaurant rates are much lower than in summer during this period and the beaches are almost deserted. As for the climate, it is ideal, warm but not too hot, and you can often swim from spring and sometimes until the end of November in autumn. Winter is the very low tourist season but the climate remains mild with the possibility of doing many hikes under the sun. The high tourist season is of course the summer, in July and August, the roads are crowded and the prices easily go from simple to triple. It is then necessary to book early if you want to have a place and not to lose all your savings. Marseille is indeed a city that is becoming more and more touristic and it is not only popular with the French but also with a great number of foreign tourists. If you go to Marseille in the summer, it is a good time for outdoor festivals and you can easily find a complete list of these festivals at the tourist office.
