Too bad for my wife and I because the day we planned to do this, I booked last second reservations at Une Table au Sud, a Michelin Star restaurant; see my other Yelp review. Anyway, I hope my pictures do this place justice. Enjoy; better yet, go visit. Another plus was that we got our Marseille soap here which saved us a trip. 6 Euros for a pack of 4. We bought a few packs... BTW, this is the same price as if we went to the parent store. Ambiance - See my pictures. Pay toilets, I think 1 Euro. They accept credit cards. Restaurant available. Gift shop. Service - Self service. Price - Free, unless you need to use the toilets. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success and history.

This was my personal favorite landmark I visited during my time in Marseilles. Don't get wrong, I…read moreliked the more popular Notre Dame, but I liked the vibe here better. It's nowhere near as crowded and in my opinion, has more local flavor. This beautiful water reserve has a park on the upper level which is a bit interesting to walk around with remnants of a bizarre zoo.

And between the two sides, the château d'eau has awe inspiring architecture marked with details in every crevice. This castle of water is just wodnerful. I'm not gonna pretend that an adorable dog swimming in one of the fountains bumped this review from a 4 star to a 5. I love animals and he was so adorably carefree!
