Just a few steps from Marseille’s iconic Basilica, a hidden haven awaits.

Perched between sea and sky, surrounded by Mediterranean terraces and fragrant pine trees, Le Répit de Notre-Dame offers one of the city’s most breathtaking panoramic views. Before you, Marseille unfolds in all its beauty: the Old Port, the sparkling Mediterranean, and the islands stretching out on the horizon.

Take a seat in the shade, listen to the song of the cicadas, and let time slow down.

After the climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde, this is the perfect place to pause, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of Provence.

Savour a freshly prepared lunch, enjoy a coffee, cool off with an ice cream, or simply soak up the atmosphere in this peaceful garden overlooking the city.

But Le Répit de Notre-Dame is more than a beautiful place. Located within the Villa Saint Louis community hub and supported by IRSAM Association, it is a place where hospitality and inclusion come together naturally.

Here, people with disabilities play an active role in welcoming and serving visitors, creating genuine encounters and meaningful connections. Inclusion is not just a value—it is part of everyday life.

Whether you are a local resident, a curious traveller, a family exploring Marseille, or a courageous walker making your way to the Basilica, you are welcome here.

Come for the view. Stay for the atmosphere.

Enjoy a moment of respite, discover a place with purpose, and experience a different side of Marseille—one built on sharing, solidarity and humanity.
