The esplanade between Fort Saint-Jean and Cathédrale La Major enjoys a superb seafront setting.
Its proximity to the Vieux-Port and the A55 coastal motorway (and, by extension, the A51 to the north), as well as the A50 to the east via the Prado-Carénage Tunnel, makes it easily accessible.
It has become a popular urban promenade, offering visitors the chance to discover some of the city’s most recent architectural developments and get a glimpse of tomorrow’s heritage, including Mucem and Villa Méditerranée.
Most of the buildings here were designed to host permanent or temporary exhibitions.
