Where to stay in Notre-Dame du Mont
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Musée Cantini and the Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul are the fixed points a room in Notre-Dame du Mont is measured against, and both sit close enough that the quartier works as a walking base inside Marseille. Notre-Dame du Mont holds very few beds. Hotels cluster under the Marseille name rather than under this one, so a booking made for the city covers the Jardin des Vestiges, the Musée des beaux-arts de Marseille and Notre-Dame de la Garde without a change of address.
