Where to stay in Noailles
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Noailles is one of the few Marseille quartiers where a visitor is already in the middle of things, with the Canebière running past it and the Maison du Figaro among the addresses on its list. The streets are dense. A room taken here puts the Canebière, the club Altis and the ordinary business of the quartier within a walk, which is the argument for staying in Noailles rather than further out in Marseille.

About Noailles
What are the main landmarks in Noailles?
The Maison du Figaro heads the list. Beyond it the record for Noailles keeps plainer company, the club Altis, the post office on the Canebière and sport Amateur billard Marseille, the addresses of a quartier that lives on its own account rather than on visitors. No museum appears.
Whoever walks in from the Canebière is looking at working streets, not a monument circuit.
What is the history of Noailles?
Marseille holds the dates; Noailles holds the addresses. No charter, founding year or founder attaches to the quartier in the file, and what stands in their place is a short list of buildings and clubs that the streets around the Canebière accumulated over time. The Maison du Figaro is the one name among them with a building behind it.
Everything earlier belongs to the commune.
Where is Noailles?
Noailles occupies a dense block of the Marseille commune beside the Canebière, its edges made of streets rather than of any river or ridge.
