Palama, Marseille — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Palama is a district of Marseille whose whole public register comes down to two riding establishments.
About Palama
Where to stay in Palama
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
No beds are recorded here. Palama offers a traveller two riding establishments and nothing else, so the room decision is made in Marseille and the quarter enters it only as a daytime destination. Riders are the exception.
A morning at the centre équestre la Chevauchée or a lesson at Les écuries de la Palama is reason enough to drive out, though even then the night belongs to the city.
About Palama
What are the main landmarks in Palama?
Two stables make the whole register. Les écuries de la Palama carries the quarter's own name, while the centre équestre la Chevauchée makes up the second half of a register that runs to riding and to nothing else at all. Palama's record shows no museum.
No church, no theatre and no monument attaches to Palama in the record, which leaves the horses as the whole of what a visitor could put on a list here.
What is the history of Palama?
The record is nearly empty. No founding year, no charter and no dated event attaches to Palama, and what survives in place of a history is a pair of stables that borrowed the quarter's name along with its ground. Marseille supplies the context.
Palama reads as ground the commune took in and left in open use long enough for la Chevauchée and Les écuries de la Palama to become the addresses worth recording.
Where is Palama?
Open ground rather than streets marks Palama, where Les écuries de la Palama and the centre équestre la Chevauchée hold the only listed addresses.
