About Le Cabot
Where to stay in Le Cabot
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Le Cabot works for visitors who want a quiet residential footing in Marseille rather than a monumental address. It is a settled quarter. Its houses and apartment blocks spread between the église Saint-Joseph du Cabot, the stade Albert Eynaud and the gymnase Viton, with the school grounds at La Rouvière close by.
If you would rather stay among families and school-run streets, close to Saint-Tronc and Sainte-Marguerite, this is a plain local base in residential Marseille.
About Le Cabot
What are the main landmarks in Le Cabot?
Le Cabot's landmarks are neighbourhood churches and sports grounds rather than set-piece monuments. The église Saint-Joseph du Cabot serves the quarter, while the église Sainte-Marguerite de Sainte-Marguerite and an Armenian Apostolic church, Sourp Asdvadzadine, stand toward Sainte-Marguerite. Sport takes over from there.
Beyond the churches, playing fields take up much of Le Cabot. The stade Albert Eynaud, the complexe sportif Desautel and the gymnase Viton lay out their pitches between the housing at Saint-Tronc and La Rouvière.
What is the history of Le Cabot?
Le Cabot passed into Marseille as the city widened over the open ground that once lay beyond its built-up edge. Its history is mostly plain. The older parish life survives in the église Saint-Joseph du Cabot and the église Sainte-Marguerite de Sainte-Marguerite, which held their congregations as low housing, schools and playing fields spread across the quarter.
An Armenian Apostolic church, Sourp Asdvadzadine, stands among them from a later time.
