Playing fields outnumber monuments in Saint-Menet, a quarter of Marseille whose church carries the same name.
About Saint-Menet
Where to stay in Saint-Menet
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Beds in Saint-Menet answer to a sporting calendar more than a sightseeing one. Plan around fixtures. Stay here if a weekend built around the stade la Maussane, the terrains sportifs des Escourtines, or the mini stade des Restanques appeals to you more than a room within walking distance of Marseille's set pieces, because the journey in is real.
The Église de Saint-Menet is the fixed point.
About Saint-Menet
What are the main landmarks in Saint-Menet?
Saint-Menet counts more pitches than monuments. The stade Saint-Menet Pepiniere and the stade Saint-Menet Mouton carry the quarter's own name, while the stade la Maussane, the terrains sportifs des Escourtines, and the mini stade des Restanques name the smaller localities around them. One building stands apart.
The Église de Saint-Menet is the quarter's church, and the installation sportive de la 1ère Compagnie d'Arc de Marseille gives archery an address of its own.
What is the history of Saint-Menet?
A saint's name holds this quarter together. The Église de Saint-Menet fixes it, and the poste de Saint-Menet repeats it, so the quarter's identity survives in institutions rather than in any surviving charter or dated foundation. Smaller names persist alongside.
La Maussane, les Escourtines, les Restanques, and la Reynarde all appear in the names of local grounds, which keeps small local labels in daily use.
Where is Saint-Menet?
Saint-Menet takes in the ground around la Maussane, les Escourtines, and les Restanques, all inside the wider bounds of Marseille.
