Parc Borély

  Parc Borély, nestled in the 8th arrondissement of Marseille, is not just a park; it’s a stunning example of 18th-century landscape architecture, designed by the renowned engineer Jean-Claude Natter. This expansive 17-hectare park features charming lakes, manicured gardens, and a picturesque chateau that now serves as a venue for art exhibitions. A notable highlight is the diverse collection of flora, including over 1,200 rose bushes and a variety of Mediterranean plants, making it a delightful destination for nature lovers. In April, visitors can enjoy the park’s full bloom, bringing vibrant colors to the landscape. Whether you're strolling along the winding paths, exploring the botanical garden, or simply enjoying a picnic by the water, Parc Borély offers a refreshing escape in the heart of Marseille.
