The 2nd arrondissement of Marseille, from Le Panier to La Joliette and the Euroméditerranée seafront. Google Maps.
The 2nd arrondissement brings together the oldest part of Marseille, Le Panier, and the great port frontage of La Joliette. It was here, on the Panier hill, that the Greeks founded Massalia; the district has kept its narrow lanes and its dense, long working-class fabric.
In the 19th century, the building of the bassins de la Joliette and the construction of the Cathédrale de la Major turned the arrondissement towards maritime trade. The decline of the port later left vast tracts of wasteland north of the Vieux-Port.
The 2nd is now the showcase of the Euroméditerranée project. The MuCEM, the Terrasses du Port, the rehabilitated Docks and the renovation of Le Panier have deeply transformed the area, which now combines offices, new housing and restored older heritage. It is one of the arrondissements where the market has changed the most.
The 2nd attracts a mix of professionals working in the Euroméditerranée offices, lovers of Le Panier seeking a property with character, and investors buying new-build in La Joliette. The market is very varied: renovated older apartments in the old town, recent developments facing the sea, and more modest buildings set back. Proximity to the MuCEM, the transport and the Vieux-Port supports demand.
The average price in Marseille 2e is 3 460 €/m² for an apartment (actual DVF transactions, notarised sales), within a range of 2 424 to 4 057 €/m² depending on the building, the floor and the condition.
The Euroméditerranée project has transformed La Joliette and the seafront: the MuCEM, the Terrasses du Port, Les Docks, office buildings and new housing. Le Panier has been renovated in parallel, which has pushed prices up across the whole northern side of the Vieux-Port.
Le Panier appeals for its character, its lanes and its immediate proximity to the Vieux-Port and the MuCEM. Properties there are often small and old; a renovated apartment, with outdoor space or a view, sells well above the arrondissement average.
Yes, the La Joliette and Euroméditerranée area concentrates a large share of the new developments in Marseille, which is rare so close to the centre. This housing suits owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Yes. Metro line M2 serves La Joliette and Désirée-Clary, the tram links Arenc and the centre, and both the ferry terminal and the Gare Saint-Charles are close by. The district is also very walkable.
