Where to stay in La Plage
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Booking La Plage means picking between the water end of the quarter, where the centre municipal de voile du Roucas Blanc and the Florence Arthaud municipal nautical stadium sit, and the streets behind it. Sport sets the pattern here. The Sporting club de la Corniche and the tennis club de Marseille give the quarter two more fixed addresses, and the centre loisirs jeunes du Prophete a fourth.
Nothing here is far from Marseille itself.

Roucas Blanc side
The centre municipal de voile du Roucas Blanc is the address La Plage puts its boats through, so a bed on the Roucas Blanc side cuts the morning walk to the water.Find hotels in Roucas Blanc sideTrips built around the Sporting club de la Corniche and the Florence Arthaud municipal nautical stadiumCorniche frontage
The Sporting club de la Corniche and the Florence Arthaud municipal nautical stadium are the two names in La Plage that face the water directly, which makes this frontage the short-walk choice for a swimming or boating trip.Find hotels in Corniche frontageStays pitched at the quarter's non-sporting addressesNotre-Dame-du-Liban end
The église catholique maronite Notre-Dame-du-Liban de Marseille and the Monument aux Repatriés d'Afrique du Nord are the two sites in La Plage that have nothing to do with sport, and rooms near them suit a visit organised around either one.Find hotels in Notre-Dame-du-Liban endHotel links are affiliate links: booking through them may earn us a commission, at no extra cost to you.

About La Plage
What are the main landmarks in La Plage?
Seven names are filed under La Plage. Three of them belong to the water, the Florence Arthaud municipal nautical stadium, the centre municipal de voile du Roucas Blanc, and the Sporting club de la Corniche, while the tennis club de Marseille keeps to courts. The centre loisirs jeunes du Prophete carries a fourth kind of address.
Two more stand apart from sport: the église catholique maronite Notre-Dame-du-Liban de Marseille and the Monument aux Repatriés d'Afrique du Nord.
What is the history of La Plage?
No founding year is filed. The Monument aux Repatriés d'Afrique du Nord names the return from North Africa, and the église catholique maronite Notre-Dame-du-Liban de Marseille names both a rite and a dedication to Lebanon, which is as close as La Plage comes to a written past. Marseille holds the wider chronology.
Even the sporting addresses carry names rather than dates, the Sporting club de la Corniche and the tennis club de Marseille among them.
Where is La Plage?
La Plage occupies one slice of Marseille, ground given over to clubs, a sailing centre and a nautical stadium rather than to any named ridge or watercourse.
