Where to stay in Sainte-Marthe
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Hotels are not what this quarter is for. La Busserine carries most of the public facilities, from the piscine la Busserine to the complexe sportif Saint-Barthelemy la Busserine, with the stade Marcel Geoffroy and the minifoot Busserine le Mail Pythéas on the same ground. Tour Sainte is the other pole.
Its golf et tennis de Tour Sainte gives Sainte-Marthe a leisure address that the rest of the quarter does not repeat, and the Église Sainte-Marthe de Marseille supplies the name the whole district goes by.

About Sainte-Marthe
What are the main landmarks in Sainte-Marthe?
Pitches, pools and school yards fill the register. Sainte-Marthe carries the piscine la Busserine, the complexe sportif Saint-Barthelemy la Busserine, the stade Marcel Geoffroy and the minifoot Busserine le Mail Pythéas, along with the jeu de boules les Bessons. Schools hold grounds of their own.
Font Vert, the école Émile Vayssiere and the gymnase scolaire Sainte-Marthe each appear on the list, while the golf et tennis de Tour Sainte and the Église Sainte-Marthe de Marseille sit apart from the sporting run.
What is the history of Sainte-Marthe?
Marseille never filed a charter date for Sainte-Marthe. The Église Sainte-Marthe de Marseille lends its saint's name to the quarter, and the gymnase scolaire Sainte-Marthe repeats it on a building of a very different age. Everything after that is municipal.
The piscine la Busserine, the stade Marcel Geoffroy, the jeu de boules les Bessons and the golf et tennis de Tour Sainte belong to the era when Marseille built public sport into its neighbourhoods.
Where is Sainte-Marthe?
Sainte-Marthe sits inside Marseille, and the names la Busserine, Tour Sainte and Font Vert recur across the facilities recorded within it.
