Marseille

From north to south, Marseille will surprise you with its many facets. Seaside, flower-filled streets and natural areas, there's something for everyone.

The Marseille Tourist Office, Leisure and Convention Bureau has been pursuing a proactive strategy since January 2020. One of its priorities is to constantly improve the quality of the welcome given to leisure and business tourists. It is strongly committed to everything from accommodation to food, as it has led and continues to lead a certification process with Teragir and its Clef Verte label, as well as with Ecotable.

Marseille, one of the first five pilot cities, was certified as an “Innovative Sustainable Destination” by Bureau Veritas in 2022, in collaboration with Marseille Chanot – Palais des Congrès and Parc des Expositions.

A Strategic Venue in the Heart of Marseille

Marseille Chanot, officially known as the Palais des Congrès et des Expositions, is one of the largest and most accessible event venues in Southern France.
