On the roof of the Mucem, you can take a spectacular walkway across the sea to the fort. An amazing experience!
Today, the port in the La Joliette district is where the big boats and cruise ships dock. When Marseille was European Capital of Culture in 2013, the Esplanade J4 was transformed into a museum hub. One of these new museums, the Mucem, is an impressive architectural feat. But La Joliette is also a good place for an afternoon of shopping. Here, for instance, you will find Les Docks Village, with stylish shops in old, industrial warehouses. And if you haven't seen enough shops yet, Les Terrasses du Port is the place to be. This large shopping centre overlooking the sea makes you feel like you're on a huge cruise ship.
