Oriol Corniche

Coastline Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France

What to expect

The Corniche Kennedy is a scenic coastal walk that offers a sublime view of the sea and allows visitors to discover many monuments along the way. The almost 5-kilometer route runs along a coastal axis, linking neighborhoods such as the Old Port, the Catalans, and Malmousque to the southern districts along the seafront, starting at the statue of David. The walk features several points of interest, including the Catalans Beach, the Cercle des Nageurs, the Marseille Underwater Museum, and the Monument to the dead of the oriental army and distant lands. Additionally, there are three bonus loops to discover complementary districts or sites, such as the Auffes valley, the Malmousque peninsula, and the Villa Valmer park. The route is considered easy and suitable for families, with a panoramic view of the sea and nearby beaches
