Park Borély This is a big park, it welcomes all the Inhabitants of Marseille. We can ride a bike, rollerblade and there is a big lake where swim ducks and swans where boating is possible... There are farmyard, and games for children, a castle, a place of exhibitions, a racecourse 50 meters away from the beach, the trees are amazing... The paradise !

Park of the 26°Centenary This park is made of a lot of gardens like the Provençal garden, the oriental garden, of Arab- Andalusian style, the African garden, where there are dunes and the Asian garden who remind of the Japanese gardens. It's a very nice park for a walking in the afternoon or to relax. There are diverse atmospheres and fountains are opened for children.It's one of the most relaxing park of Marseille.

Park Longchamps I really want to tell you about this park simply because it's part of my environment. This place of Marseille is very original and has a history. This park is part of a Palace. The Palais Longchamp is dedicated to water. The park offers many activities for all: a playground for children.The gardens by the fountain here are beautiful and it's a perfect place to while away an hour on a sunny day.

Pharo's garden It's a park public and private, there is many universities building like the ''University Aix-Marseille'' or the Faculty of medecine. We can have a beautiful view to the ''Vieux Port'' and the North coastline of Marseille. For children, it is very fun : Merry-go- round, games, lawn... a paradise!
