The address
32 boulevard Michelet, 13008 Marseille.
Eden Islands sits on boulevard Michelet, a tree-lined avenue connecting Prado to the Mazargues roundabout. This residential district in southern Marseille has kept the architecture of the 19th-century bourgeois properties.
Five minutes' walk away, Borély park unfolds forty hectares of French gardens, its castle, its racetrack and its rose garden. The Prado beaches are reached via avenue Pierre Mendès-France and offer year-round swimming, sailing and restaurants overlooking the open sea.
Beyond, Marseille opens up: the legendary Vélodrome stadium three minutes away, the Old Port a quarter of an hour, the Calanques twenty minutes by car. A location to live the city without its bustle.
