About La Pointe Rouge
What are the main landmarks in La Pointe Rouge?
Château Pastré anchors the sightseeing. Alongside it the Musée de la Faïence de Marseille and the Campagne Pastre grounds give the quartier its heritage names, while the massif spéléologique des Calanques/Veyre puts caving and the site d'escalade du Roy d'Espagne within reach. Église Sainte-Eusébie serves the streets. Sport fills the remainder of the list, from the Stade Roger-Lebert and the complexe sportif du Roy d'Espagne to the gymnase grotte Roland and the centre équestre Pastre.
What is the history of La Pointe Rouge?
Marseille carries the dating; the quartier itself has none. What survives in the record is a pair of estate names, Château Pastré and Campagne Pastre, set against a much newer list of swimming pools, gymnasia and climbing sites, which is most of what La Pointe Rouge now holds. Église Sainte-Eusébie carries the parish thread. The Musée de la Faïence de Marseille keeps ceramics as the single museum subject the quartier claims.
Where is La Pointe Rouge?
La Pointe Rouge covers a stretch of Marseille taking in the Campagne Pastre grounds and part of the massif spéléologique des Calanques/Veyre.
