11th arrondissement of Marseille

The 11th arrondissement spans 29.86 square kilometers and contains eleven distinct neighborhoods including La Valentine, Saint-Marcel, and La Treille.

This district evolved from rural landscapes into urban areas during Marseille's expansion, with numerous bastides and mansions marking its architectural development.

Marcel Pagnol's legacy permeates the district, particularly in La Treille where his family tomb resides and in the Château de la Buzine, now a Mediterranean cinema center.

The district connects to central Marseille through public transportation networks and features extensive shopping facilities in the La Valentine neighborhood.

The Buzine Castle, spanning 5 hectares, transformed from a 19th-century residence into a cultural institution dedicated to Mediterranean cinematography.
