Description A Sweet Disposition: Marseille addremove

Ideally located right on the Old Port, this beautiful seventh-floor holiday apartment set within a building designed by famous architect Fernand Pouillon offers a fabulous view over the marina below as well as the bell tower of Accoules in the distance and the Notre Dame of Marseille.

Turn your head from that captivating view of marvellous Marseille and you will find that there is just as much to admire within the four walls of the home. Tasteful touches, such as the gorgeously restored parquet floor, the industrial-chic exposed lightbulbs, ultra-sleek sliding doors to the bathroom and cool, quirky poster-style artwork combine with expert use of colour, texture, and the occasional piece of highly polished antique French furniture.

The overall effect is one of ‘old-meets-new’, and, in a way, this is the perfect metaphor for Marseille itself – a town known just as much for its cosmopolitan nightlife, eclectic cultural offerings, and an irresistible cuisine compiling a rich tapestry of influences as it is for its lazy backstreets and traditional Provencal architecture.

The apartment’s large bay windows provide a perfect wake-up call as the morning light seeps in and the marina begins to mumble into animation on ground level. After a cup of coffee and a croissant or two, step out into the sweet sunshine of the South of France for a day of discovery.

You’ll find yourself right in the middle of things, with a wealth of bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, as well as the famous fish market of the Vieux Port all on your doorstep. Peruse the winding laneways of Panier and imbibe the gently effervescing pace of day-to-day daily life as it unfolds around you. Or take a stroll around the historic ramparts of Fort St Jean, before a game of pétanque on the Mucem esplanade or a boat trip to the Calanques.

Heading back to the apartment in the late afternoon you can look forward to an evening drink in the amber-hued light that now fills its spaces, before perhaps venturing out to sample some of Marseille’s upbeat, funky night-time entertainment – much of which takes place outdoors thanks to the city’s balmy Mediterranean climate.
