About Les Camoins
Where to stay in Les Camoins
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Les Camoins is quiet, not central. The Maison pour tous des Camoins and the stade des Camoins say what kind of quarter this is, one where the day runs on local rhythms rather than on visitor traffic, so a stay here means committing to the journey in. It suits you if a court at the tennis club Ruissatel matters more than a metro entrance.
The église Sainte-Agathe des Camoins marks the middle of it.
About Les Camoins
What are the main landmarks in Les Camoins?
The église Sainte-Agathe des Camoins gives the quarter its principal address, a parish dedication that shares the Camoins name with almost everything else on the local map. Everything else is a pitch or a hall. The stade des Camoins and the tennis club Ruissatel hold the playing surfaces, while the Maison pour tous des Camoins covers the indoor side of neighbourhood life.
What is the history of Les Camoins?
The Camoins name runs through everything here. It attaches to the église Sainte-Agathe des Camoins, to the stade des Camoins, and to the Maison pour tous des Camoins, which is the clearest sign of how firmly the name is fixed to this ground. Dates are scarce.
Ruissatel supplies the one name that breaks the pattern, carried by the tennis club Ruissatel.
Where is Les Camoins?
Les Camoins occupies a pocket of Marseille where the stade des Camoins and the tennis club Ruissatel take up much of the open ground.
