Nature in Marseille

Marseille has nearly 9000 hectares of nature from land to sea. Check out the My Provence guide and explore an exceptionally rich natural heritage.

From L’Estaque to the calanques, Marseille has a 57km coastline dotted with nature sites and parks. Marseille’s ocean heritage includes the Iles du Frioul, Riou archipelago and the calanques from Callelongue to En-Vau. Further inland, Marseille has huge parks for family fun, including Parc Borély, the Parc du 26ème centenaire and Pastré. But Marseille’s real ‘green lung’ is the seven woods which ring the city and take in the Massif de l'Étoile and Garlaban. Find all this and more in our guide.
