Very beautiful and large-scale architecture of the building is combined with a cascade of fountains and greenery. The building houses a magnificent collection of flora and fauna of France. Entrance is absolutely free, which is a great rarity in our time. I highly recommend to visit this location.

Palais longchamps is 5 stops away from vieux port. Very accessible and easy to spot. You can visit two museums: history and natural sciences along with beautiful parcs and a even a zoo. Palais longchamps is a celebration of the coming of water in the city of Marseille in 19th century. Nice sport for photo shooting.

The park is fabulous and absolutely gorgeous. The water fountains are very pretty and refreshing. Walking around the columns and winding staircases brings joy to the soul. The museum is good, but small and a little outdated. However in since the last time I was here maybe 8 years ago, they’ve added English and Spanish to the description cards. Great place to take great photos!

Very picturesque place to visit. Amazing architectural construction. People say it took 30 years to build this. Unfortunately, part of the front grass is a little bit dead, yellowish. Once you enter it, look up and you will see amazing details. If you go by car, park it on the streets around and don't forget to buy your parking tickets for the "payant" spots.

This palace is less so a palace and more a large statue / fountain which is quite beautiful and much larger than I anticipated. The natural history museum and fine arts museum on either side make up what was probably the palace at one point. The fine art museum was free when I attended and it seems it’s often free. It’s quite small but the collection is interesting and worth the time and I’d say I would pay 5 euros if it was required of me.

Such a beautiful place!! The architecture is amazing, very clean. I went on a Monday around 10 am and it was pretty empty. Recommend bringing some food for a picnic at the park

Beautiful building surrounded by a very nice park. The main stairs are spectacular and a good photo opportunity.

Stunningly beautiful building and fountain. Lots of outdoor area to sit and enjoy a picnic. Behind the building is a large park. A small natural history museum on one side, the other side has a small art gallery. Very lovely. All free to wander around in. Close to the tram line.

What a lovely place to visit. I was content just taking photos from the outside the gate but then saw it was free to wander the grounds as well. It was definitely worth the long walk there (or you could use public transportation but we had not figured it out yet so we just walked).

You have a really nice view of Marseille from the top of the stairs. A beautiful building housing two museums, both free for -18. An enjoyable place for a picnic and definitely worth visiting while in Marseille.

Nice and peaceful spot near the train station. If you have a wait for a swap in trains like I did its worth going to relax and get some food. Not been into either of the museums but they seemed busy enough so must be interesting.

The place is bit far from the old port around 30 minutes walking. The palace is located in a zone where roads are dirty, streets under construction and so crowded. The palace is inside a park and have a zoo. The palace is so beautiful, the architecture is wonderful but unfortunately some walls have words written on them. In general the palace is a good spot to make great photos , you can see around people taking professional photos ( instagrammers 🤩😹☺️)

Beautiful fountain with an amazing architechure around. You can also find one museum there which I didn't go. In the back it has a garden which is just a small normal garden, nothing special really.

Just a few minutes away from the city center, this place is most elegant and cleanest garden in Marseille. Perfect for photoshoots. It probably is the only place in this city without any graffitis. I feel safe hanging out here.

Fountains sound will dissolve the city one, sculptures are massive but very natural, bulls are holding an entire city the building is hiding secrets on seals of the massive and grotesque building. Behind it you will find a park that will reopen something that is hidden in you. Sit, relax and enjoy the view of the city through the art of the construction guarded by the amazing statue. I will not tell to you an entire history of this palace. Go, visit, explore :-)

A very good choice to spend some time if you're on a very short visit in the city. Beautiful gardens to sit, contemplate, have a picnic, do some city-sunbathing or reading. Fantastic views of the city and a fantastic palace to walk around and take in its history!

Such a pretty and romantic building. Don't forget to visit the free museums. On left-wing, the Museum of Fine Arts display 17th and 18th century paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Founded in 1801, it is the oldest museum in Marseille. On the right-wing, the Natural History Museum gathers several collections of stuffed animals Both entrances are on half ways of the stairs. Both museums are closed on Tuesdays. Someone is fixing the roof that spoils the picture viewing from the Basilica a bit.

A total surprise. Inspirational place to have a break. Amazing monument with a huge waterfall and fountain

Schöner Platz um Zeit zu verbringen. Der Kaskadenbrunnen, die Architektur der ganzen Anlage sind wunderschön. Im linken Flügel ist ein Kunstmuseum angesiedelt. Nix besonderes aber trotzdem interessant. Im rechten Flügel ist ein Naturkundemuseum untergebracht. Rundherum kann man die Parkanlage genießen und die Seele baumeln lassen.

Amazing architecture. Great fountain leaves you in awe. Nice place to visit and walk around. Shops and restaurants close by.

Just visited the park to see the structure. The Gardens at the top looked a tad worn and outdated. Tipping during special occasions and maybe different season of the year might have some more colour and growth. Still a must see.

Place for good view and good rest. The Longchamp palais has a magnificent water fall. We rested on the stairs in the hot weather, also saw people sitting on grass here. They have museum inside the palais. If you don't have the time to go inside like us, have a quick walk up the stairs is good too for a day trip here. Hope you ll enjoy here! Bon voyage!

Schönes Palais mit einem angrenzenden Park. Scheint wohl ein beliebtes Ziel von Hochzeitspaaren zu sein um Fotos zu machen. Allein als ich da war, waren 3 Paare da und haben Fotos gemacht. Unten auf jeder Seite gibt es jeweils ein Museum mit Gemälden und Naturkundemuseum. Beides ist kostenfrei. Kann man sich auf jedenfall mal anschauen.

Remarkable place. Went on a cloudy day but I would expect this place to be much more serene if it was during a sunny sunset. Regardless, it was worth the trip and a definite go to if you’re planning a day trip to Marseille.

A magnificent building with water fountains, statues and ornaments

The fountain is a marvel, it's size is very impressive and I'm surprised how quickly the construction occured. The musé des beaux arts had a lovely collection of pieces. We did not visit the entire park but I'm sure it lovely

Beautiful place and parc in the middle of the city, wouldn't expect a place like this would be there!

Very quite gardien, with an architectural Masterpiece, a beautiful watterfals and a playground for Children and a zoo.

Amazing fountain but lacking some upkeep

Good place to relax. Waterfall,fountain and pool.

Well maintained, calm and beautiful.

Lovely gardens to wander, beautiful building

These photos are from 2011.The Palais Longchamp is a monument in the 4th arrondissement of Marseille, France. It houses the Musée des beaux-arts and Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Marseille. The surrounding Longchamp Park (French: Parc Longchamp) is listed by the French Ministry of Culture as one of the Notable Gardens of France.The architecture of the structure is beautiful! The palace is actually a water tower that was constructed in the 1800s to provide clean water to the city. It now houses two museums-the fine arts museum and the museum of natural history. At the entrance is a beautiful sculpture of tigers and lions

Must visit if you're in Marseille. Beautiful place

One of the most impressive buildings I've ever seen! There's a beautiful view of Marseille from the top. The Parc behind it is nice as well although the playground is a bit run down. I visited the Museum of Art there and it's good place to visit for art lovers. It's mostly paintings and a lot of them are of Marseille back in the days which is very interesting to see.

Un parc agreabke au coeur de Marseille mais tellement plus sympathique et attractif lors du festival qui s'y tient , festival organisé par Le Funny Musical ?

Dieses Palais gehört auf den Besichtigungplan von Marseille Kleine Cafe's in diesem Stadtviertel machen den Aufenthalt angenehm

Un joli porc mais manque des vrais toilettes et propre

Dommage le Musée d'Histoire Naturelle était fermé peut être dû à la covid ?? Pas d'explication au portail ni sur le site, un manque de communication...

Taxidermie étymologie des animaux empaillés, lieu de monument payant pas le droit d'y toucher. Dans des cubes animaux domestiques sec. Près de ce cube de la description (cartel) de l'animal de charme de ce reptiles, gnatostomata, mammifères vende des choses à l'intérieur. C'est bien en vitrine des bêtes sur les genoux et les mains.

Hermoso lugar donde disfrutar de obras de artes

One of the must-dos when visiting Marseille. Amazing palace with fountains and a surrounding public park.

A beautiful Palace with an amazing fountain. If you got a chance ti visit I would strongly recommend it

Beautiful place to visit when you are in Marseille. Besides the fabulous entrance, there is a nice garden after the buiding.

Every visitor of Marseille should come to this amazing place! You will find two museums therein: art and natural history

Its really nice place, and amazing..glad to visit and help you to relax..

Very good looking architecture

I was visiting Marseille for 3 days and took the underground to Palais Longchamp to check this out. Highly recommend. Beautiful fountain and a lovely park to relax or have a picnic. We were lucky there was also a small band playing!

Place itself is lovely however it is far from the port, if you are going there with a scooter or bike be careful because you will have to go through some rough neighborhoods, even i was with my boyfriend i felt a little bit unsafe. We had to be extra cautious in that neighborhood. But there is a bus line right across from it i suggest to take that bus. Especially there are unlimited 24/48/72 hour passes you can buy from major stations and use in all public transportation.

Nice building and amazing water fountain.. unfortunately the museums were closed on monday.. don't miss

Stunning, haven't gone inside for the museum but it looked wonderful. The park behind it is not that impressive.

Beautiful and clean park. The palace, which is actually a water tower, is splendid.

An incrediy beatiful building with a majestic outlook and amazing architecture. The entrance is free and it is home to 2 museums, one on each side. Once you get at the top, a park opens behind it.

This is a beautiful fort with some Roman architecture the fountain look beautiful and picturesque. The steps lead up to a garden good for a walk. The best part again is the fountain and the view from the front.

Hard to find such a beautiful palace that too in city centre. Must visit also the museum from inside. Good waterfall. I loved it. Good tram connectivity from city centre.

I only spent 5 hours in Marseille but Palais Longchomps is definitely worth the visit. The water feature is unlike anything you will see elsewhere. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to visit the museum. There is also a little play area at the top for kids to play in while you take in the sight. The place is a little dirty though. I did spot a few broken glass bottles around.

Beautiful ornate building and grounds. The architecture and workmanship are stunning. If you wander up the steps you can also gain access to the gorgeous gardens behind. I didn’t get a chance to visit the museum as it was closed, but I still enjoyed admiring the magnificent palace and grounds.

Such a beautiful place. But behind the Palais, you may find a few derelicts. That was a good while ago, and it may have changed. Marseille was my favorite place in France. The food, diversity of the people, it was nice to hop on and off the train or tram, and I loved just shopping there.

This magnificent monument celebrates the ingenuity of bringing water to the city. In the center, a flowing cascade showcases beautiful statues of bulls, lions and tigers. To the sides, each of the wings houses a museum, one the Museum of Fine Arts, the other the Museum of Natural History.

Definitely a must see here. I am amaze how big and gorgeous this place and the fountain is. I love it. I can just watch it all day and admire it.

A beautiful walk in the morning sunshine. Also an enjoyable space to connect with nature 🌳🌴 in the big city or to work out amongst the trees in the park and maybe visit this tremendous building with it's water feature. A strong recommend for some city respite.

It's marvelous. No word can describe it. Better to see once on your own. Surely, in the list of must see in Marseille

Beautiful Palace with nice gardens. Not loads to do, the 'zoo' attractions are in need of a little TLC. It is a good place for a quick picnic, however; depending on the weather.

Beautiful architecture & parc. We had bad luck with timing (since google mentioned that this place was open until 7:45pm. We come and the gates were closed, and a festival was happening, so you could not really enjoy the monument.

Its in the middle of the city and the water element is spectacular, as it was supposed to be when originally designed. Worth the visit to see the gardens and the main fountain but too much to see in the 2 museum spaces .

Beautiful place, great views, highly recommended on a city break

The place is stunning even though the entrance area leaves something to be desired. I enjoyed both the natural history and art museums there. Both were free and a lovely respite from the heat.

A nice surprise down from our apartment! A beautiful fountain with such symmetrical architecture. Lots of space to wander and read about. There was a jazz festival going off with lots of signage telling you it's an Eco-Planet-friendly event. We returned at night to see the lights reflect off the water. Plenty of light, shadow and shade on a hot day and areas to sit and wander. Climb to the top to enter the free park and toilets. We didn't go into the museums but saw they were well organised and secure. We had a coffee at the cafe next to it just so we could glance further!

Beautiful fountain, waterfall and architectural display at the front, lovely interactive museum inside with helpful staff that is completely free. Great for families!

Outstanding experience in the evening. Breathtaking views and lovely park. Looks a little bit abandoned, but still keeps the sign of wealth and luxuries. If you want to make a photosession in Marseille, this place is for you.

Beautiful structure with great views of the city. Also has an art museum within the campus for those who enjoy art. This is also free. The water feature is pretty stunning.

Extraordinary museum in the city center of Marseille. The building is divided in two parts, in one side you find the beaux arts museum with a classical collection of art with very amazing pieces and at the other side is the museum of natural art, full of taxidermy and a very impressive collection. These two museums were for FREE so no entrance required (I don’t know if that’s always the case but when we were there it was like that) Yet there was not too many people inside. Totally recommended to add to your visit when you’re in Marseille or in the area :)
