Where to stay in Les Accates
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
A stay in Les Accates is a stay among sports grounds. The choice is honest. Book here when the tennis Park de Marseille or a fixture at the stade sportif la Jouvene shapes the day, accepting that the city's older streets are a journey away, since the gymnase du Ruissatel la Valentine takes care of indoor training.
The église Saint-Christophe des Accates gives it a centre.

About Les Accates
What are the main landmarks in Les Accates?
Two dedications share Les Accates. The église Saint-Christophe des Accates carries the quarter's own name, while the Église Saint-Valentin de Marseille shares its name with la Valentine, and the pairing is the clearest thing on an otherwise sporting roster. Courts and halls take over from there.
The tennis Park de Marseille, the stade sportif la Jouvene, the installation sportive de l'école mixte la Valentine, and the gymnase du Ruissatel la Valentine account for the rest.
What is the history of Les Accates?
Names here point outward as much as inward. The église Saint-Christophe des Accates belongs unmistakably to the quarter, but la Valentine, la Jouvene, and Ruissatel all turn up on its grounds and buildings, marking the smaller localities whose names Les Accates carries alongside its own. Dates do not survive.
The Église Saint-Valentin de Marseille and the parish that gave Les Accates its own name hold that patchwork of local labels together.
Where is Les Accates?
