8th arrondissement of Marseille

The 8th arrondissement extends over 18.55 square kilometers and contains ten distinct neighborhoods, including Bonneveine, Les Goudes, and Montredon along the Mediterranean coast.

The district developed into an industrial center during the 19th century, transforming from small fishing villages into residential areas for Marseille's manufacturing families.

The arrondissement houses multiple maritime neighborhoods where fishing traditions continue, particularly in Les Goudes with its harbor and seafood restaurants.

Two stations of Marseille Metro Line 2, Périer and Rond-Point du Prado, connect the district to the city center and serve its 82,609 residents.

The district includes the Plages du Prado and Parc Borély, with beaches stretching along the Mediterranean coastline and green spaces for outdoor activities.
