Vallon des Auffes
Highlight • Settlement
Wedged between two cliffs, resolutely facing the sea, the Vallon des Auffes offers the image of a time which would have stopped in the time of Marcel Pagnol. It is also one of the emblematic places of Marseille.
Unique, authentic, picturesque site, there is no shortage of adjectives for this little haven of peace both so close and so far from the hustle and bustle of the city center. This is where you will find one of the most beautiful settings for eating out in Marseille.
Deeply linked to the sea and fishing professions, even its name, the Vallon des Auffes comes from esparto (auffo in Provençal) which is a granulate used to make ropes. In the 19th century, rope manufacturers established themselves there. With its very colorful fishermen's huts and its pointus (typical Marseille fishing boats), and its restaurants as traditional as they are renowned, the Vallon des Auffes symbolizes the “Dolce Vita” of Marseille.

EN - A stone's throw from the Plage des Catalans, right in front of the statue of the heroes of the Eastern Army, nestles a small Provencal fishing village.

Deeply linked to the sea and to the fishing industry, right down to its name, the Vallon des Auffes comes from the alfa (auffo in Provencal) which is a granulate used to make ropes.
