About La Pomme
Where to stay in La Pomme
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
La Pomme sits away from the visitor trail, a working district of Marseille built for its own daily life. Hotels are few. The quarter turns around its schools, its parish churches, and a dense string of pitches and courts, from the stade de la Pomme to the tennis club Queirel Saint-Loup, so travellers generally sleep in central Marseille and come out only for a match or a visit.
If you have friends or a fixture here, it makes a calm, ordinary base. The rooms are in the centre.
About La Pomme
What are the main landmarks in La Pomme?
The landmarks of La Pomme are its churches and, above all, its sports grounds. The église Notre-Dame-des-Apôtres de la Pommeraie and the église Saint-Dominique de la Pomme mark the older parishes, while the stade de la Pomme, the stade Saint-Loup, and the stade Michelis give the district an unusual concentration of pitches. Boules has its place too.
The association boulistes les Grognards and the courts of the tennis Gallia round out a quarter where local sport, more than any monument, sets the tone.
What is the history of La Pomme?
La Pomme grew as a parish settlement absorbed into Marseille rather than a town of its own. Its churches are its oldest thread. The église Notre-Dame-des-Apôtres de la Pommeraie and the église Saint-Dominique de la Pomme mark the parishes the neighbourhood formed around, and the many later stadiums and clubs record its long habit of local sport.
Where is La Pomme?
La Pomme lies within Marseille, its streets set between the église Saint-Dominique de la Pomme and the pitches of the stade de la Pomme.
