Where to stay in Pont de Vivaux
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Marseille's hotel weight sits elsewhere, so a room in Pont-de-Vivaux is a practical choice rather than a scenic one. Sport fills the week. The complexe sportif Pont de Vivaux, the club bouliste la Capelette and the Libertyclub keep the quarter busy after working hours, while the église Saint-Maurice de Pont-de-Vivaux gives the residential streets around them a fixed point.
Two churches carry the name Sainte-Marguerite.

The club bouliste la Capelette, the complexe sportif Pont de Vivaux, the Libertyclub and Phoenix Attitude danse take up the rest, along with school grounds at the lycée professionnel Ampere.
What is the history of Pont de Vivaux?
No founding date is recorded. What the register holds instead is a set of parishes: the église Saint-Maurice de Pont-de-Vivaux for the quarter itself, the église Sainte-Émilie-de-Vialar de Sainte-Marguerite beside it, and the église apostolique arménienne Sourp Asdvadzadine for an Armenian Apostolic congregation. Sport arrived on the same ground.
The club bouliste la Capelette, the complexe sportif Pont de Vivaux and the installation sportive du lycée professionnel Ampere record the later civic layer that Marseille laid over these streets.
