Who said that going to the museum necessarily had to be limited to spending time locked up in a room looking at paintings, certainly splendid, but sometimes older than your parents and grandparents combined? Certainly not us. No, here at Bonbon, we suggest going to the museum... to sit on the terrace! Because yes, some of the cultural institutions in the city of Marseille have some of the most beautiful terraces in Marseille! Let's take a look...

The terrace of the Mucem: The table of the Môle Passedat

Nestled on the top floor of the Mucem, at the J4, La Table du Môle Passedat offers a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean and of the Cathedral of La Major where you can admire the endless horizon. If you are looking for a romantic and emblematic address of Marseille, there is no better option! Enjoy the most beautiful panorama of Marseille overlooking the entrance to the Port and Notre Dame de la Garde. And if you simply want to enjoy the view for free, just grab a free sunbed and soak up the sun!

Regards de Provence Museum: the panoramic restaurant Regards Café

Wow, in Marseille, they really love panoramic rooftops... But with a view like that, who wouldn't want to take it all in!? Head to the 2nd floor of the Musée Regards de Provence where you'll find a lovely covered terrace with a glass roof, greenery, and art pieces. The artsy atmosphere combined with a sea view is truly captivating!

Museum of Decorative Arts, Ceramics, and Fashion: Café Borély

Surrounded by thick stone walls, the ultra cute Café Borély is nestled in the heart of the castle for sunny afternoons away from the city's hustle and bustle... Sit at the colorful bistro-style tables under the shadow of trees and enjoy a peaceful moment.

Discover the magnificent fig tree and taste the atmosphere of the south and the so relaxing idleness! Between the vestiges of marble columns and the central fountain, this is the perfect address to take it easy.

Fort Saint Jean : la terrasse du Roi René

The Fort Saint-Jean is a real labyrinth, and this historic fortress gives us plenty to explore! To make the most of the view and the sunshine: head to the upper part of the fort! Get lost in the village and follow the ramparts of the wall walk (city side) to the King René tower. You will then access an absolutely beautiful and privileged hidden terrace with a spectacular view of the Old Port where a dozen cannons were once installed.
