About Le Redon
Where to stay in Le Redon
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds are not the point here. Le Redon is one of the quarters Marseille divides itself into, and a traveller weighing rooms will almost always end up choosing among the hotels of central Marseille rather than among anything listed inside this one. Luminy explains the exceptions.
A fixture at the stade d'athlétisme de Luminy, a match at the tennis club Phoceen Luminy or a week at the faculty puts you within reach of the grounds on foot, which is the single argument for sleeping out here.
About Le Redon
What are the main landmarks in Le Redon?
Two churches anchor the list. The église Saint-Jean-Bosco du Redon carries the quarter's own name, while the église Saint-Joseph du Cabot stands over on the Cabot side, and between them they account for most of what is formally recorded in this corner of Marseille. Sport fills the rest of the register: the stade d'athlétisme de Luminy, the tennis club Phoceen Luminy, the fronton Pelote Basque and the COSEC de la Faculté des Sciences du sport de Luminy.
Oxygene closes the set.
What is the history of Le Redon?
Marseille filed this quarter without a founding year. What stands instead are the parish markers: the église Saint-Jean-Bosco du Redon took the quarter's name, and the église Saint-Joseph du Cabot did the same for Cabot, so the two labels that organise this part of Marseille are legible in stone before they are legible in any archive. Luminy answers to a different register.
The faculty buildings behind the COSEC de la Faculté des Sciences du sport de Luminy belong to the university, not to the parish.
Where is Le Redon?
Le Redon lies within Marseille, and the ground it covers takes in the Luminy sports estate along with the église Saint-Joseph du Cabot.
