Where to stay in La Cabucelle
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
La Cabucelle is not a quarter travellers book into, and hotel rooms are hard to find among its streets. Rooms are hard to come by in La Cabucelle's streets. Anyone drawn to this side of Marseille tends to stay in the city centre and come out to La Cabucelle for its churches, using the wider Marseille for a bed and the quarter for a look around.
About La Cabucelle
What are the main landmarks in La Cabucelle?
La Cabucelle counts its churches among its few named sights. The église apostolique arménienne Saint-Jacques serves an Armenian congregation, while the église Saint-Trophyme and the église Notre-Dame du Canet rise over the older streets. The caserne de la Bigue stands nearby.
Sport takes the rest, at the stade Louis Camelio.
What is the history of La Cabucelle?
La Cabucelle came into the city as Marseille pushed outward and took in the ground beyond its centre. Its story follows the city's. Once open land at the edge of Marseille, it filled with streets and churches as the city grew, and it remained one of the everyday quarters of Marseille rather than a place of grand building.
Where is La Cabucelle?
La Cabucelle lies in the inner reach of Marseille, its streets running between the église Notre-Dame du Canet and the complexe de la Madrague Ville.
