Hidden Coves & Calanques

Malmousque

Marseille's secret coastline: rocky coves, Belle Époque villas, tiny beaches and seaside tables.

Malmousque, between Endoume and the Corniche, is Marseille's most coveted neighborhood. Footpaths lead to preserved coves, Belle Époque villas overlook the sea, and restaurants — including iconic Chez Fonfon — draw locals and travelers from around the world. Come for sunset aperitivo, a swim away from Prado crowds, or lunch facing the Frioul islands.
